John Hoey

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Drop in one, 9 min, 3 shows. Monologist in a comedy make up. While posing as a monologist, Hoey devoted most of his time to-day to the singing of parodies written to familiar tunes, which he did acceptably to our audience. The little talk given by him went well despite the fact he told old stories, but told them in good shape. His dance at the finish carried him off to a very good applause, and he is easily good enough to hold down this position. He is evidently a man of no mean ability and who will, if clever stuff is written for him or by himself, undoubtedly make good in a batter place.
