Presenting: “Jack, the Giant Killer.” The company consists of Captain Auger, who is a giant measuring 8 feet 4 inches with two liliputians and two women. The Captain has a very bad delivery with an impediment in his speech. The stronghold is the boy comedian, who secures all the laughs and has an elegant voice. The act contains various specialties with Russian dances, cake-walk and singing by the midget comedian. The act is novel, rather freaky and far from being a headline attraction. It pleases the children and I presume it will pass in all the houses, if placed properly 22 min. full stages.
