"[Clive] has left the magical comedy tricks, and does not walk into the audience. To replace the former matter, Mr. Clive has a humorous travesty on lighting calculations, with Mai Sturgis Walker once again as his pretty assistant. Another new bit is a little skit on ventriloquism, with Clive wearing a drooping moustache, holding a "dummy" on his knee. While speaking he makes a jar of milk disappear, ostensibly drinking it. To conclude, a little magic with handkerchief and billiard ball is explained as the orchestra drowns out his voice through loudly playing 'The Glow Worm.'"
"The house evinced so strong a liking that Mr. Clive and Miss Sturgis bowed many times."
"Clive is always laughable, and his present material is much preferable to the other."
