Laddie Lamont

Known at homo and abroad as the funniest leot on the globe. It may sound like boastful billing, but the description ia really a play on wards, for Laddie Lamont is famana for the unique feats he executes on n roiling .globe. While balancing hinuelf in regular and irregu- lar positions on a large globular object he per- forms raritiea in juggling and other deft man- ipulations. The presentation fairly screams with nneapected ‘, situations.

Ladﬂe proves his versatility in his eooond offering billed as "The Woman's Holiday," in which he introduces n variety of skillful bai- ancing, Juggling and dancing stunts. ffheeo antics are done on a freely balancing ladder, known as an “unsupported ladder. It is this act which the Scatchmau has developed into an art of his own. lie haa a teammate—a female dummy.

Almost everywhere on his tours hook and ladder companies insist en adopting Laddie to keep them amused while they are at play in the fire notion. Luddle will be a. big feature of the vaudeville program afternoons and eve- nings of Old Home Week, August 15th to 18th.

Sinrc tiiat tlmc-hc has exhibited his trained dogs, all of them “Alley Aristocrat!" -just ordinary (logs. His success in their training is based on just one word-patience. 'l‘h.\l's all it takes. hc says. and no dog is ever too old to learn a new trick or two. The slmrfcr things iikr- flips, tail-chasing, abrobatics and tumbling, take about two or three m-cI-zs to icztrii. Sumo of the more difficult stunts, like balancing with one paw on Ihrtorrs thumb, takcs as long as four years to learn.

Bast results in dog t ' are achieved, he says. through show- in" them nvrr and ovcr what you want and letting them know who is boss. A much largrr number of dogs than are actually needed are always carried by the Rutons, who spvnrl tilt-Ir Sparc niomcnts training the dogs.
