Whistling Vaudeville Perform Tells Benefits of Whistling

Indiana, 1906

Whistler Talks

Harry Antrim, who is doing a whistling stunt with Miss Yetta Peters at the Temple this week, has achieved quite a reputation in his line of work. Antrim is a clever imitator and his act gets him much applause. "I was fired from the Philadelphia Record for whistling and I have been whistling for a living ever since," he said this morning. Mr. Antrim claims that if there would be more people use whistling as an exercise there would be less consumption in the country. How many people are always complaining of their throat and lungs. And why? Because they are not properly developed. Take whistling for instance, just the ordinary scales, the kind you play on the piano. Instead of playing them whistle them just as low and as loud as you can and I am sure you will be benefited by it in a short time. It causes the chest to expand and materially develops the lungs."


At The Temple

This afternoon and evening — High-class vaudeville.

The matinee at the Temple this afternoon will begin at 2 o'clock in order to give the performers time for the special vaudeville performance that will be given at Robison park for the street car magnates.
