Evidently nervous. White chalk on a black board is used and black crayon on a white pad. Starts by drawing two baby heads and carries them through all the stages of life with great speed. Keeps the profiles the same changes the age with head dress and caps. The finale was a rapid sketch of “Little Nemo”, “Dull Care”, Hungry Henrietta” and other “Silas” drawings.
Not a word is spoken during the act.
Won instant approval. Lots of applause
