Marcel’s Living Art Studies

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 18 min. full stage. He exhibited practically the same subjects as during his last engagement here, and I regret to say that there was little or no applause, except for the groups. Of course, the act is not one that calls for a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and I rather think it is above the heads of a larger part of the patrons of even the best houses on the circuit. At any rate, our recent experience, with the songsheet idea, and today’s opening of the living art studies, would lead one to think that both those forms of amusement have worn their welcome out, and can easily be dispensed with for some seasons to come, unless given in a more unfamiliar form than at present.
