Scout the canine actor rises from tramp to star of show
A globe trotting canine named Scout joins Gentry Frothers Shows in Washington for a week at Fourteenth and W streets NW. Once a hungry tramp in Butte, Scout was saved by Frank Gentry and proved a gifted performer, performing a fifty foot high dive, a somersault, and riding a two wheel bicycle. Now about six years old, Scout earns his life in luxury aboard the show, receiving cooked meals and a state room aboard the canine train, and is regarded as the most valuable dog in the act.
