Birdman Kellogg's larynx has long been a source of entertainment to the public and of revenue to him. He has been on and off the vaudeville stage for 15 years. His flame experiment was the result of thousands of "fan" letters he received after a radio lecture last month. He can "sing" a note so high that it is inaudible to the human ear.

Language issued from his head as from that of a ventriloquist's dummy. For this man, one Charles Kendrick, had no larynx, no vocal cords. These had been removed in an operation for cancer of the throat, in their place put a silver tube which emerges from the throat of Mr. Kendrick and is held in place by a neat black ribbon which passes around his neck underneath his collar...
