If you want to enjoy good laugh
there is only one way that you can
be sure to do it and that Is to see

comedian, at the Orpheum. 1t is i'm
possible to keep straight face when
he comes on the stage in black tights
to do the famous hair pin" dance.
'Skinney's" shape is his fortune as
he is the skinniest, funniest man on
the stage today and has refused many
fiattering offers from some of the big
minstrel troupes. "Skinney" is to the
