Assisted by Ed Machugh. 15 minutes in one. Olio drop. Maranville is no stranger to the stage, having appeared in vaudeville last season with Griffith of the same team. This year he is assisted by Ed Machugh, who is a wellknown Boston story teller and entertainer. Machugh recites a travesty on Tennyson’s ‘Charge of the Light Brigade,’ entitled ‘Charge of the Braves’ Brigade,’ which introduces Maranville. The latter sings a couple of songs, Machugh does a number, and they finish with ‘The Grand Old Game of Baseball,’ with Maranville doing his wellknown coaching and sliding during the chorus, which takes them off. Needless to say, the short stop of the ‘Braves’ and hero of the World’s Championship Series was a RIOT.
