John Gr?n Marx is very strong, and demonstrates this by carrying the Hippodrome staff about him 'as if they were so many flies'. The great success is Mme Morcashani 'whose superb figure and tremendous voice added a dash and go which were irresistible'. Sam Soda was a stand-in turn, and improvised verses on any subject given to him by the audience. He was eloquent on Mr. Chamberlain, Buller, the Billiard Match and the Japanese war.
