John and Emma Ray

Location:
Theater:
Date:
C.D.F. 4, 21 minutes. The audience had evidently been waiting for this act, and they were both accorded a grand reception on entering. The first words uttered by Ray were greeted with a scream of laughter, and his gorilla like antics and peculiar Irish speech brought forth general laughter throughout the whole of the act. It might be said to have done all we expected of it, although the applause at the finish was not so hearty and general as we had looked for.
