THERE'S MUSIC
In THE AIREDALE
Continued from page eight

W ~ Oll WIN IAiC Pei AioAiSS.
A wailing dog, you may say,
does not sound so very hilarious
but friend, you've never
heard this one wall!
Sport has sung a couple of
times on television, but this is
his first big-time role. He is
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan
Wollman, who run basket
importing concern in New York
City. When they first got
Sport as a pup, they fell COM
pletely under his spell and
made him a vice president of
the firm. They had stationery
printed for him and picked the
name Morgan because they felt
it would have a substantial ring
in the financial world.
A Duet
Soon Sport developed his trick
of singing. Mr.. Wollman's avo-
cation is singing, and the Aire-
dale simply made it a duet. In
"Top Banana" he starts singing
at a cue whispered in his ear. The
words: Mae West"
Sport is an unusually friendly
beast who will let even neWspa-
permen pet him. He spends much
of his time doing in the back
stage crannies of the Winter
Garden Theater.
Fortunately there is no pro-
fessional jealousy between Phil
Silvers and Sport. They're just
two comics trying to get along
and they appreciate each others
problems. If anything, Mr.. Sill
vers is stricter than MIR. Woll-
man about Sport. Don't worry
him, don't worry him." he's al
ways warning cast members who
stop to pet him. 1--WE don't want
him to blow his lines!"
Wealthy Dog
sport lives a normal life off
stage or at least as normal as
a dog can lead in a big city. His
home is an apartment, but he's
taken for runs in the park good
deal, except on Wednesdays and
Saturdays, when he has matt
nees to play. He is rather wealthy
by ordinary dog standards, earn
ing a nice sum each week and
also being legally possessed of a
share in the show. Mr.. and Mrs.
Wollman arranged this in
vestment, and it probably
makes him the only dog ever
to back Broadway show -
the only Airedale, anyway.
Even if MIR. Silvers weren't
fond of Sport, chances are he'd
treat him pretty politely. One
doesn't fight with ones hackers.
Besides, the pup supplies him
with endless opportunities for
gags. Just before Top Banana"
opened on Broadway, an ac-
quaintance arrived from London
