25 min. F.S. One of the best ventrioloquial acts we have ever played. Open with a violin solo, including some barnyard imitations which get applause and then proceed to his ventriloquialism, employing a prop bad boy and a little girl. The various changes of voice are quite remarkable and there is plenty of comedy. Held the attention of the audience throughout and received a strong closing hand.
