On at 2 o’clock, 16 min full stage, 3 min close in 1; 21 min in all. ‘The Jestive Juggler.’ This fellow made a very pronounced hit here today, and I regret that I cannot give him a much better position on the bill, for I feel sure that he could hold it. He got almost innumerable laughs this afternoon. While his juggling tricks do not amount to much, his line of talk and by-play are immense. He tells me that he is only over here for four weeks, but thinks he could set back some of his foreign time if he is offered more time here; however, he is already wise to his worth and says that it has got to be at a better figure than $125. He certainly proved himself superior to many acts that we are paying two hundred.
