Woodford’s Animals

Location:

Type:
3 shows, 15 min, full stage. This man has two monkeys, two dogs and two ponies, one of the latter being the smallest equine in the world. He is not a quick qorker [sic] and the act suffers as a consequence. The material is there, for the simians and canines are tractable enough, but the fellow lacks snap. His stage trappings are taudry [sic] looking and his assistant is a sloppy looking individual. With all its shortcomings it made a hit with the holiday crowds, and will go big with the children during the week.
