Rellow

Mentaphone sounds.

And for the first few seconds of the act while Rellow was making melodies with the front of the mouth hand-claps he was popular, but when the audience saw that he did nothing else they sat back and waited for the next act.

When he slaps his hands together in front of his mouth and jabs himself in the head and mouth, sounds are heard that are reminiscent of the old minstrel bones.After one-half minute of his turn has been gone through, the secret is out. He can do nothing else. In the first half minute he does every trick he knows and makes every sound possible in his so-called mentophone way. Rellow could be a hit if his act ran 30 seconds. He opened the second part of the show.
