Show SPOOFING DE WOLF HOPPER NOODLES Hannefer, a clown at the Hippodrome, played a mean trick on De Wolf Hopper during the latter's act with the elephants the other day. From thje beginning- of the act Hopper Hop-per observed the animals were not behaving be-having as obediently as usual. The quartette of pachyderms stood with their backs to the audience and refused, refus-ed, to respond to Hopper's commands and signals. Then the comedian discovered the reason. Poodles, knowing an elephant's weakness, had seated himself in the center of the audience surrounding the circus ring with a watermelon In his lap. The elephants had seen it, and had no thoughts of anything else. |
