Owen McGiveney

There were two artistic hits on the program. Owen McGiveney was the first to appear and registered a distinct hit with his remarkable work in the dramatic sketch, "Bill Sikes." McGiveney is a clever artist who knows how to read lines and to play characters, but it is the rapidity of the various changes he makes that fairly stuns the audience. It seems hard to believe that he plays all the parts himself, and there were probably many in the audience who doubted it after watching him change. They showed their appreciation, however, in no uncertain response.
