The committee is assembled and the passing of electricity through the body, lighting handkerchiefs from arm and head, and other "tests" are performed.
"Magneto" is performed which is as near like another electrician, Volta (in Hammerstein's "Dr Herman,") as the two acts could possibly be.
Those who had not seen a similar act followed it closely, with undoubted interest, but it passed away without applause or comment.
He is simply an interesting act with some comedy so palpably faked with "cappers" that the real value of the humor isn't there.
