  10 Mins.; One and Full Stage (Special Set). Now the “strong men” are talking. Orville Stamm is doing it, also singing. He has a new turn fashioned out of his former strong act, with the meat of that retained. Opening with his bull-dog hugging him, Mr. Stamm sings about his dog, then talks about him- self, all in “one.” Going into the full set, surrounded by curtains, he does his muscle display and after that, the violin playing whilst holding the dog on one arm, also his physical culture movements, and toward closing, his sketch in chalk with the dog again on his arm. In the new turn Mr. Stamm has placed a few laughs. It’s probably what could be called the only comedy strong man act in vaudeville.
