It would not take much discernment to decide that Tom Edwards is the headline attraction of the bill. Tom is a ventriloquist and to many people that statement would "queer" Tom with them Immediately. But he is a different ventriloquist. Ho has some tricks which have made the crowned heads of Europe applaud, and incidentally, present him with a diamond scarf pin for his cleverness. Edwards is supported by Miss Alice Mellville, also a ventriloquist, and a singer of ability too.

His make-up is immense im-mense and the audience takes its first big laugh when the boy first shows his face.
