First appearance. This man gives us quite a novel act. He draws a pretty fair picture of a battleship on two black-boards, then draws a battleship, torpedo boat and a view of Port Arthur in the distance on a large board, and with the aid of mechanical electrical appliances, gives an elegant exhibition of the ‘Bombardment of Port Arthur’ on the large board, showing the searchlight, bursting of shells, torpedoes & etc. While the act did not receive a great amount of applause, I believe it will draw before the week is over. Full stage, twelve minutes, two shows.
