Little “Hip”

10 min. in 2. ON at 5:00.  The principal interest in the baby elephant is his availability as a program boy in the lobby.  Mounted upon a table with his trainer at his side, he distributes Keith News afternoon and evening to the patrons as they come in and crowd around him.  He is especially a pet with the children and is one of the best features of this kind that we have ever had.  His work in the stage is rather interesting, doing several common stunts, but his principal value lies in his virtues as an advertiser.  To-night he will distribute menu-cards at the Jeweller’s banquet at the Bingham Roof Garden.  Bowing for flash-light pictures, and other stunts are in preparation.
