comedy star. reads like a chapter
\ from the Arabian knights Way
hack in IS he began with a medicine
show He followed this line until the
middle 'sOs, when he met Sam T. Jack,

to recognize talent. and shortly TUrpin
was posted and bulletined as the great
est "knock-about" comedian Of the day.
At this point his eyes failed and he was
compelled 20 retire temporarily
His sight was restored by q Euro
pean specialist Then Ben decided 10
be an opera singer. Failing at this, he
returned to the comedy stage and made
a hit as Happy HOOligan- In 1905 Ben
