John J. Desmond

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
Garden in 4, 8 min. Opening with muscular posing which earned his a slight hand from which he progressed to bag punching feats. Unfortunately for him he followed  the Royce Brothers to closely and his feats did not ellicit [sic] any amount of applause. In this position he is wrongly placed and we have exchanged him for Mitchell from the new house. 3 shows.
