Pony to Dine in Restaurant

The Marietta Daily Times, December 5, 1929

The table manners of a princess should not cause any apprehension anywhere, but proprietors of the Leader Restaurant are more or less concerned about the behaviour of a "princess" which will be a guest at their palace to eat Friday noon.

Birch, the magician, who will appear at the Auditorium theatre Friday and Saturday will lead his vanishing pony "Princess" into the Leader at lunch time to dine with other members of his show troupe. The magician has assured the local restauranteurs that Princess is not a bit fastidious about the kind of service she receives as long as there is plenty of eats at hand. In fact, Princess is especially orderly at meal time. Oats without cream will be among the delicacies served the vanishing pony and all items on the special menu will prove of the vanishing variety as a special compliment to Princess.

Many are expected to pay cover charges even if they are not hungry, just to see Princess eat.
