Clown Musical Act. 15 min. F.S. close in 1. 2 shows. Man and woman, offering selections on various instruments, concertina, musical pipes, etc. The musical part is fairly good, but the interest of the act was principally on account of the grotesque make-up of the man who uses electric lights in his costume. In the close in 1 the man appears on a prop donkey with bells, the donkey meantime breathing fire. The man is made up in the character of Roosevelt, but it is doubtful if it is in good taste, as the burlesque received only a small hand. Good for an early place only.
