The famous Hippodrome Clown. 9 minutes. Special. I am at a loss to know why a man who has had as much experience as Marceline, would attempt to go into vaudeville without first having an act. This week he is the most unfunny man that I have ever seen. He seems at a loss to know what to do. I have tried to suggest several things I have seen him do at the Hippodrome, so as to make the act presentable for the balance of the week, but he seems unable to do anything for himself. It is really too bad that some one has not taken hold of this man and put an act together that he could make good in. I am sure he would have proved a real feature for us. The act as it no stands would get away opening the show in one of the three-a-day houses.
