Facial artist, and dialect story teller. This man went very strong indeed, in fact made a hit. He makes a few funny faces of such characters as ‘Happy Hooligan’ ‘Sunny Jim’ etc. which are quite laughable, and tells some good stories in the dialect of Irish, English, Negro, Chinese, Spanish, Italian, etc. His dialects are simply perfect and the audience quickly recognized that fact, his stories are also good. I am changing places with him tonight with Glenroy, who hardly held up his spoy [sic] on the bill. Bruno is playing for me at GRR. At GYH I would consider him cheap. 15 min. in 1, shows.
