This act was a disappointment. He has no business getting half the money does. He caries [sic] 5 men, who do little else than run about the stage, and get in each others way. The clown is tiresome. Berzac’s Animal act has this one beaten five miles. The act today was streched [sic] out to thirty minutes, which is altogether too long, and the finish was very weak ——— so week, in fact that there was hardly a ripple of applause. He should discharge four of his men, and cut his salary of $200.00. FS, 30 min.
