Monologue, descriptions and a poem recitation.
Following Crawford's "movie" pantomime and monolog, he entered into the description of
the young woman who was blessed with pulchritude that would send Venus, the Graces,
Aphrodite and the rest of that bunch packing in search of a beauty school in an endeavor to
