Doherty’s Poodles

NH 3 – These are the same poodles formerly worked by Ed Doherty, who died about a year ago. They are now handed by his widow, and they somehow seemed to me to go much better this afternoon than I ever saw them before even when Doherty was handling them himself. They obey her perfectly, and being so diminutive they appeal especially to the ladies and the children, and, taken as a whole, it was a very acceptable act. 16 minutes, full stage.
