Garden in 4, 10 min. This young man who played our show a couple of weeks ago returned to-day and got by with more satisfaction. This is doubtless due to the fact that he did not have to follow a bag punching act as he did on his previous visit. His muscular posing does not add any value to his act but his bag punching is rapid, clever and accurate. Gained considerable applause and closed to fair applause, even better than we expected. 3 shows.
