The greatest impersonator has been before
the public six years, under the auspices of
leading lecture associations. churches,
societies, business men, and opera house
managers, and has been called back many
times to the same locality which is proof
Of his worth. His humorous impersona-
tons, mimicry and songs, which for
novelty, originality, variety, aud refine
ment have never been surpassed, stamp
him as the leading monologue artist of
the day. Many of his I~mpersonations
have been written by himself. and others
expressly for HIM, and are presented by
Nc other artist. He also renders some Of
the leading topical songs from the most
popular authors, which adds pure. whole
some fun, and sends a ray of sunshine
over the intelligent mind which causes
the heart to vibrate with joy. The work
of this great artist is interspersed through
out the programme making it so varied
that the heavy selections from grand
operas are alike appreciated.

a sort of stupor resembling

pouring a stimulant down mis- throat and
