Cornetist. 8 min. in 1. 2 shows. On at 8:52. This is a novelty in Vaudeville, but it got by very well. Joly is certainly a master of the cornet, and the house seemed pleased with each selection. His tone is very clear and sweet and his technique is faultless. Makes a good Vaudeville novelty. It seems to me though, that the act might be improved if Holy would vary it by playing other instruments, for a man who can handle a cornet so beautifully could certainly do as well with a trombone, alto, or even a big tuba. Even eight minutes of trills is slightly monotonous.
