John Snuggs, the Troubadour demonstrating Paper Tearing with his Partner Accordionist.
Introduced by S.E. Reynolds.

A grand name is Snuggs and the man who owns it is a grand personality. London theatre-goers-those, that is, who queue up for their seats-know him well. His 'act' consists of songs and the tearing of paper designs. At this last accomplishment he is particularly skilled. One of his specialities is the making of a row of skeletons in a few seconds.
