The Great Italian Comedian in “His First Speech.” This act is something different from any act we have played before. Consists of giving a speech in Italian dialect for the first time. Pulls a great many laughs and finishes with giving a little musical turn with Harmonicas, concluding by playing seven of them, one after another balanced on his face. As a whole the act went very well, and is alright for an early spot on our bills. 20 minutes, in one, own drop.
