...Pantaloon, A. M. Abramson displayed certain evidences of a theatrical future. He has the art of gesture which means much in these provinces where the arm of a traffic cop is usually the ultimate. Charles Hicks in his double role is also far, far out of the ordinary. Although predicting his future is a trifle unnecessary, one can suggest that it will be amusing.

Perhaps this feeling is due more than anything else to the shock which he experienced when he realized that the story of Franklin entering Philadelphia eating a roll and with another under his arm,--a story told him when a small child and constituting his only knowledge of the statesman--was, as Mark Twain points out, not such a wonderful thing after all.
