“His act consists of a knack of making very quick changes of gloves, cuffs, collars, and neckties, in full view of the audience. He removes a pair of red gloves that are on his hands when he enters and in their place appear gloves of a bright shade of green. He goes through this process several times, putting on the gloves in an instant […] While he is doing this he keeps up a rambling monologue, addressed to a pump on the stage, that has neither rhyme nor reason.”
