TWO
Chicago’s Twisted “Bundle” Makes Fortune In Music and Art
THINKS WOULD
IS FINE PLAGE
TO LIVE IN
By ROY J. OIBBON6
CHlCAGO—Tomorrow again,
from the same grecn-ahuttcred
house they will carry out the
"bundle" that amllea.
Tomorrow again, aa on the mor
rows that have come and gone for
16 years, on the battle line they
will set the "bundle" down.
There the "bundle” with hie
paralytic limbs and twisted body
fights cheerfully. Fights for food,
for warmth and. a little happiness
too, perhaps.
The "bundle's” name Is Harry Hal
Ehrlg. He la 31. *
Once his body wrs whole and
sound. Today he can move but one
arm.
All the rest of him Is dead. Kvery
thlng save his brain and that smile
that won't rub off.
BLESSING IN
DISGUISE
He thinks the world a pretty
fine place to live In. Yet he never
sees much of it except when they
prop him up beside a window or
carry him beyond the little green
shuttered house.
Before he became a "hundle” he
was Just one of the milling multi
tude of a big city. Then a motor
cycle accident put him "luckily,”
be aays, to bed "to think.”
He haa been an Invalid ever
since. Vital nerves have been torn
from his back.
"But It was a blessing In dis
guise,” he says.
Think of that!
What Ehrlg has done since fate
overtook him could shame thou
sands of able-bodied men. Through
hit own efforts he earns a six-fig
ured fortune yearly.
MUBICIAN, PAINTER.
WRITER ,
This he does through his orches
tra— the Blue Demons —which he
directs and personally nupcrvlses.
Also he writes movie scenarios,
composes successful song hits, and
paints pictures that have attracted
attention from celebrated artista.
Before the accident Ehrlg was
Jus onn of 1.000,000 people. No one,
save his friends, ever had heard of
him.
Today he la a person of Import
ance. Ho haa built up an In
domitable courage. The smile that
won't rub off stays with him.
It even refused to go a month
ago when misfortune added still
further to his cup of sorrow—when
his stepfsther shot and killed the
"bundle's” mother snd then com
mitted suicide.
IT'S A FINE
WORLD”
"I do not wish to think of thet,”
savs Ehrlg.
''Life* Is too short for sorrow.
There is so much to be done.
"Before my accident I Just drift
ed along. I knew nothing about
lAlntlnr. music or writing. They
have come to ene since aa pleasures
"And many peopig are
They never find themselves until
the crisis.
”1 am happy to he here. I am
r.lad to see the sunihlne. This Is a
good world.
"Believe me when I say that. For
1 have lain here long enough to
find out.”
This from a man that Is a "dun-
Ole.” This from a “bundle” thaa
has made good.
Think of him when you are sad.
Tomorrow he will be going out
of the green shuttered house again
for tty battle line.

Each year It seems to have grown
In leaps and bounds until today tt
stands second to none In the world

Manager Chas. Sparks seems to
have cornered the foreign markets
in sensational trained wild animals
as was evidenced In the lengthy
street speotarle'Wils morning for It
contained cage nfter cage of splen

ahle feature was the unusual fine
display of horses and the neat ap
pearance of all participants—hut

cupied at all times by truly sensa

number of thrilling wild animal dis
plays take place Including Franz

original “Turzan of the Apes" lions
and a large group of polar bears
with great dane dogs. These are
followed In rapid succession by two
grOUPS of elephants In the hands of
lady trainers. I’nssib'y the greatest
feature of the er.t're performance
was th» prof. Klerks group of six
teen Herman trained “rotation”
horses in a series of drills and ma
neuvers, performing without a word
of command from the trainer and
returning to tbe*r proper places
