The opening turn is Le Pollu, a man clad In a French soldier’s uniform, who Slays a cornet and other curious brass horns. He balances one of them on his lips while leaning backward and not holding on (while playing two cornets at the same time), and for a finish plays the “Star Spangled Banner” compelling everyone to stand up after just having become comfortably seated.
