Marshall p. Wilder, who for two
generations has been one of the IA
nous entertainers of the country, died
suddenly at St Paul the other day.
He was born in Geneva, n. Y, Sept.
l9, 1859. Because of his physical
disability-he was a dwarf so far as
height was concerned-his education
was limited to few terms in the
public schools. He took naturally to
mimicry and was the funmaker Of
his class.
At the age of twelve Mr.. Wilder
gave a Punch and Judy show in his
fathers back yard and charged two
cents for admission, five cents for
reserved seats. 1t is said by those
who still remember young Wilder's
remarkable shows that there were
never any empty seats.
II asked King George the Five
Times through the press agent in
charge of the bon mot department,
II the job of kings jester was stin
