Volpi’s Animals

Location:

Type:
Four dogs, four bears and three monkeys. Wormwood is here with the act. I understand to-day was the first time for it here on any stages and from the way the animals worked this afternoon it looks as if the act was put on about a month too soon. Few of the tricks went through, there was absolutely no routine and take it all in allit [sic] dragged from start to finish that it put an awful crimp in our show which up to this time had been going first rate. There are possibilities in the act but they are far from being developed as yet. Act goes on to-night at 7:30 and Wormwood promises much improvement. 21 mins in 4.
