Crayon artist. This man did not make a very strong impression with our audience, about the only thing being his closing picture representing a winter scene which was quite effective and was made especially attractive by the introduction of a mechanical horse which drove across the scene attached to a sleigh which gained quite a little applause. Speaking generally, he is not nearly as good as Chalk Saunders, for he has but little idea of ‘patter’ and I hardly think his crayon work equals Saunders. It can be classed as a good act for an early place on the bill. 18 minutes in two.
