Sam Watson’s Barn Yard Circus

Type:
Full stage-wood, 25 minutes. This act is a surely a novelty in the way of animal acts and could be improved very much. Mr. Watson’s idea of comedy is not good and we were compelled to cut his talking down quite a little. He wanted to do 25 minutes. We cut him down to about 19 and 15 minutes. However, it is going very well and feel sure that with a few weeks work that he will see the necessity of cutting out some of his English comedy.
