202 THE NHW YORK CLIPPER. APBlL r 18, CHARLES R. SWEET "It Is do reflection upon American comedy to aay that Mr. Sweet, who appeared at the Oxford laat night, Is different to other American comedians who hare visited Lon- don. Mr. Sweet, It may safely be sold, Is the funniest comedian at present upon the London stage. He has that confidential way with bis audience which carries tlm right past all Introductions; and there was noth- ing In his humor and In his clever entertain- ing that the audience did not follow with de- light, ills Imitations (on the piano and on theplano wires) were excellent,and for half an hour the audience forgot tbat there was any other ■turn' to come,"—THE STAB, Feb. 10. "The American comedymao, Mr. Sweet, re- mains the novelty la tbe Oxford bill."—THE STAIt, Feb. 21. "To the Oxford last night came a new turn—Indeed, It would be nearer the truth to say a boat, for tbe newcomer, tbe Musical Burglar, la not one, but an epitome of many, a whole orchestra In one pair of shoes. Natu- rally tbls remarkable gentleman cornea from the home of combines—America. A great favorite there, Mr. C. B. Sweet—alias the "Burglar"—sought Dew worlds to conquer, and this time, at least, London seems to bare no objection to the American Invasion. Mr. Sweet a methods are nothing If not original. * * * Tbe Oxford programme, on which are sucb well known names as , — . It , was not In need of much strengthening, bnt tbe "Musical Burglar" Is, beyond doubt, a friend to be welcomed."— THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, Feb. 12. "Even In a programme of sucb general ex- cellence aa that presented at the Oxford last night one 'turn' stood out prominently. This Is provided by Mr. C. B. Sweet."—THE STANDARD, Feb. 12. "Music ball successes are made (or lost) in a single 'torn.' Mr. Sweet, the new American comedian, at the Oxford, made bis success with such speed and thoroughness that he Intends to remain In this country."— THE MORNING LEADEB, Feb. 23. "One of the funniest of all the mu«t«i turns yet turned on to the variety anSffi that provided by Mr. Charles R. Swert ,?
