A Night with the Poets

This act went rather slowly this afternoon as a new man in the quartet did not seem to be up in his business. Lloyd’s reading was as admirable as ever but the quartet seemed to have selections that dragged horribly and which are to be changed tomorrow. While “Maud Muller” is a pretty poem I think the old selection of “The Old Man and Jim” would be better appreciated by our audiences. Much of the nervousness of the afternoon had worn off by night and the act went much better. Own act in 3. Time 22 min.
