Synopsis
Excerpt from Trix and Chatter: A Novelty-Serio-Comic-Magicologue
I went to the hotel and there, stretched out on the bed or perhaps I should better Say, folded up on the bed, was what afterwards became quite familiar to me as the figure of the author of this book. At that time I thought he was about a foot longer than necessary, but have since come to believe that an all-wise Providence created him that way so he might stand head and shoulders above his fellows. From what other people tell me, his size and voice came in very handy in France.
At that time Dorny had a little act that was very short and very funny. We had Dorny out to the house and he went through his act for us. A friend dropped in and Dorny went through it again. More friends followed and with each addition to the company Dorny had to repeat his act. By the time he had given his tenth performance I was fairly sick from laughing and I have been laughing at him ever since.
