Type:
In an act of burlesque magic made up as a Chinaman. This fellow has a very good act. There is always something about the exposure of magic tricks that seems to appeal to an audience as being funny, and this fellow is quite a natural performer and his evident enoument [sic] of his own work seems to make him especially strong. It is a mighty good three-show-a-day act. 15 minutes, open full stage, and close in about three or four minutes in one.
