2 shows, 40 min, full stage. Got quite a hand on his entrance. Started his act with lighting changes and then performed conjuring feats a la Ching Ling Foo. The orchestra he carried in this portion of the act is the only thing on which to criticize and that is certainly BEYOND the limit. Sounded like a fair crowd attracter. He next travestizes [sic] noted bandmasters, past and present, including Creatore. Secured the most applause at the finish, in proportion to the audience, that I have heard handed out to any act in this theatre for a long time. With the exception of the ‘band’ everything he does is above criticism.
