The mysterious face. First time in this city. IT is an enormous head, made of some elastic material, that is worked by someone within. It depicts anger, scorn, irony, contempt, etc., at command. The head, after working three minutes, got out of order, and we had to drop the curtain. The audience went out disappointed.
