The act was thirteen minutes long.
Zelland Hunt is a deaf mute who plays piano, draws cartoons, and does some glass etching. He also follows the orchestra in a rag number. The program notes that he is the only “performer-pianist and cartoonist” on vaudeville.
His act will entertain a curious audience on the small time. Hunt will certainly gain the crowd's sympathy, but the rag number should be cut because it "merely emphasizes his muteness."
