Walter Jarvis

Location:
Theater:
Date:
25 min, F.S. A local dancing instructor supported by a company of three and ‘a’ colored orchestra. While Jarvis is not an actor, he has surrounded himself with clever people and the early part having to do with different persons coming in to be taught dancing lessons very funny. The three dances introduced by Jarvis and his partner were excellent. The eleven colored musicians constituting ‘a’ orchestra were the worst in the world but by pruning out four of the eleven, will improve. After act gets worked out, will be better than a local attraction.
