John Cutty is of the well-known musical family of that name. His turn is almost straight, he making little or no bid for comedy, relying on his ability as a legitimate musician for approval. He opens with a few popular bits from grand opera, one the piano and plays, in the order enumerated, the fife, bass horn, slide trombone, cornet and piano together, bugle. It is surprising how much variation Mr. Cutty manages to inject into a legitimate instrumental turn, and for this reason he is certain to be well liked in vaudeville.
