Krayona and Co., billed as “The Naval Artist,” opened with crayon drawings, using electrical effects at the finish of each drawing. The finish, a picture of a battleship in action, drew a good hand on the effects but the explosions were too loud; a large portion of the audience couldn’t applaud if they wanted to, they were using their hands to hold their ears.
