SNORE FOR A BARK.
A DISTURBED BROADCAST. VIENNA. Yugoslav papers describe an unusual incident in the studio of the Belgrade Broadcasting Corporation. It happened during the performance of a love scene in a dm ma. According to the book of the play a dog had to bark when the hero was asking his beloved: "Can you hear the barking of a dog?" A Russian musichall artist, who was engaged to art as the barking dog, drank too much rakia and fell asleep in his box. Instead of barking the audience heard only snoring. The Broadcasting Corporation received many letters of criticism and decided to use gramophone records of animal voices instead of engaging an imitator.
