with trained dogs the wiry little German gymnast and animal trainer has learned that most audiences are barely conscious of his presence on the stage so interested are they in the tricks the dogs perform Even when he takes the dogs for a stroll around the block from the Worth Hotel show fans often call a cheerful "Hello Spotty" to the star of the canine act but rarely give Sydell even a nod even gets fan mail Usually the envelope is addressed to Sydell but the letters most always start off "Dear Spotty" or "Dear -Kiki" Sydell incidentally places no value on the dogs for he simply wouldn't part with them at any price Anybody who wants to buy the dogs he explained must make the price big enough to include "me and the missus too" WEDNESDAY DEADLINE FOR PAYING TAXES A negro woman
