“It consists of painting in colors with unusual rapidity a couple of pictures on transparencies through which electric lights are projected, which illuminate his work in a new way.” The act opened the show and occupied eight minutes.
Krees was at a disadvantage because he opened the show at an early time. He was rewarded with limited applause from the small number of people in the audience who arrived early.
The novelty of the act made it good enough to open a large or small time bill.
