Mr. Fields is a “dumb act” because he does
not speak during his comedy juggling turn.
Why Mr. Fields does not speak is quite
simple. His comedy speaks for him. Nothing
could speak louder for the man or
act. There is no juggler who secures as
much humor out of the rubber balls as
Fields, who is a comedy juggler with a
little something new each time around.
