Nadolny

Nadolny has a novel opening for his turn. When the curtain goes up there is a rich Japanese drape hanging in the center of the stage and before it a figure dressed in a kimona, with the face hid behind a fan. The removing of the fan discloses the fact that the kimona is covering a tramp. This brings a laugh. Nadolny then removes the dressing gown and starts on a juggling routine, interspersing a line of comedy talk that does not seem to land. The special drop that he carries shows a barnyard scene, and there are a number of props connected with it that make for comedy, such as milking the cow by pumping the tail and the obtaining of his juggling balls by having the hens painted on the drop lay them. It is a good small-time turn of its kind.
