He appears in a costume of pink mosquito netting and burnt cork. The mosquito netting is gather tightly about the ankles. It half conceals, half discloses the delicate fragility of Mr. Wilson’s pins.
Mr. Wilson sings old favourites, such as "Yip-I-addy." The words, however, were adopted for his own purposes.
The audience couldn't get enough.
