Bobby Henshaw, a large fat man, and an Essex auto salesman, appeared with a ukulele banjo under his arm, who imitates birds and instruments and also auto horns, and made the patrons enjoy themselves, as well as could be expected from an auto salesman. For an encore Henshaw requests the audience to coax a young lady in the box to play the cornet, which she finally yields to do, and plays it very well. With the position given Henshaw he was the hit of the bill. It was here that that the audience began to warm their hands.
