The Electrical King. 24 min. F.S. Owing to the fact that Dr. Herman’s paraphernalia did not arrive from Brighton Beach in time for the afternoon show, his first performance did not take place until tonight. It made a hit all right. The Doctor is a real showman right from the first, inspiring confidence with a large frame and impressive personality, speaking clearly and pleasantly. His little lecture was listened to with great interest and his experiments brought some applause. But when he called the men upon the stage to be experimented upon, the fun was fast and furious. As a summer laughing act it is a corker, and helps strengthen an ideal hot-weather show.
