This is one of the best children’s acts that a vaudeville stage makes possible. Watson comes out dressed in the character of a coster Englishman, and although he is rather talky, he soon has the audience in good humor. The animals donkey – dogs; roosters; pig – etc. are well trained, and do not need punishment to make them do their clever stunts. The comedy of the entire act seems to be contagious, (if animals can be said to have a sense of humor,) and the pink pig with the nursing bottle as a close, was a double scream. The children in the audience were in hysterics of laughter throughout. Even Berzac did not win more applause. 18 mins, Landscape in 4.
