Pepito, the Spanish Clown, really does imitations but presents them as a clown, and introduces a comedy stunt with an auto which is the predominant hit of the act. The special drop shows a desert and an abandoned auto. After some comedy in which an imitation of a dog barking is a part, Pepito removes his comedy suit, handing it to a woman assistant, and then is dressed in a clown suit in which it is easier to get around, with heavy clown makeup but no wig — a noticeable absence. He fools around with the auto a time getting many laughs. He then concludes with imitations of a xylophone, dog barking, chicken and rooster, cow, pony, aeroplane, crying baby and the trainer of lions, in the latter using a whip and a sort of megaphone. Pepito has the makings of a dandy act.”
