Among his educated troupe of dumb actors is everything from a poodle to a greyhound. There are a few tricks of canine intelligence that Meehan's dogs do not put over, but they do many others. Two little fellows do all the fancy floor work and acrobatic stunts. Two dogs get all the laughs with a prize fight which proved a hit. For a finish, Meehan put five greyhounds through a leaping exhibition.
Although there have been animal acts galore, the greyhounds forced the audience to give the act a strong applause. A new rack or platform for the dogs would give the act a more attractive background.
