His Ventriloquism is of
so superior an order, that the ears become completely the
fools of the other senses. His Imitations of 12 Persons are
truly astonishing, and to miss seeing this gifted Artist would
be missing a treat indeed. Since the days of Mons. Alex-
andre there has been nothing equal to him in this country.
Visit the. Liver, and judge for yourselves. The Perform-
ance closes on SATURDAY next, May 15th. The limits of
an Advertisement preclude a more lengthy description.
There is but one opinion of the Feats produced, and that is,
wonderful—most wonderful. Everybody should see him.
