Character imitations. A very clever act, much improved, containing new matter beside his Rip Van Winkle performance. His vaudeville work comprises excellent characterizations of Weber and Fields (with a dummy) Jimmy Russeel, Joe Hart, John L. Sullivan, Lew Dockstader and Richard Mansfield. The field covered shows conclusively Mr. Stephen’s versatile ability, and the four scenes given from Rip Van Winkle are also extremely good. He uses several assistants in character and carries his own drops. Made a decided hit here at each performance. 27 mins.
