Edgar Bixley

This fellow appeared here a few months ago in an act called ‘The Edgar Bixley Trio’ introducing himself, wife, and one other man. They made a tremendous hit and it was the impression of every one that working alone and with the proper material he would come pretty close to Nat Willis. While he went very nicely this afternoon, he was not quite as strong as I expected and hardly think that he has got his act shaped up right. He introduces his wife in the turn now, and I think she is rather a detriment to the act. He has got a wonderful voice and if he can get the kind of songs and work entirely alone I think he is destined to make a big impression. I will look the act over again and decide whether it is strong enough to go over the circuit. 15 minutes in one.
