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.
Jetsam (whose real name is Malcolm McEachern) joined up with Flotsam (whose real name is B.C. Hilliam) in 1926. Since then they have been a very popular act on the halls and on the air. Jetsam - his is the bass voice - is an Australian who once toured with Dame Nellie Melba, and Flotsam, a Canadian, sings, plays the piano, and writes most of the songs. Jetsam came to England from America with a big reputation and he first appeared at Queen's Hall.
