Rossi and ‘Emir’ (Musical horse)

F.S. time 13. The horse is the whole show and saves Rossi’s bad comedy from pickling the act. A woman also has a little to do. ‘Emir’ holds the people in their seats in great shape, in spite of the lateness of the hour (4.50 P.N.) The horse plays several instruments with apparent understanding, and puts on one or two comedy stunts such a smiling and laughing and knocking Rossi about the stage. It’s a great animal feature.
