Show Pied Piper Appears in City Singing and Playing Fiddle i THE Pied Piper has come to town, i He appeared yesterday, a tall, gaunt, singular figure with a queer hat and a queerer mien in turn j on every one of Salt Lake's princi- ' pal corners und lured the passing crowds' from their objectives. His favorite position posi-tion was on the far edge of the sidewalk nearest the street. j Standing there he played such airs as ' are rarely heard on street corners. He played the old-fashioned tunes in ap- j pealing fashion, snuulyitifi three different voices on his fiddle. More than one of the pedestrians was seen to rub his sleeve across his eyes and walk quickly away. The Pled Piper is blind and answers to the name of Charlie Kvans. He Is fr'im Missouri. I Its only friend is his fiddle. It is his train fan:, his meal ticket and his passion. It has carried him throughout through-out the t'nited States and will, some day, he asserts, carry him around the world. Kvans likes the city better than the small towns, although he makes every town lie comes to Iu his pilgrimage. |
