CLARENCE BUIiGPERFER, IMPERSONATOR,
FIRST NIGHT OF CHAUTAUQUA
Burgderfer, "Tho Prince of Entertainers'' haB been recognized for year?
as one of the most popular entertainers and character impersonators on the
lyceum and Chautauqua platform. Ho has the nutural gift of humor and
good cheer, together with an unusual personality. His original wit, inimit
able stylo and wonderful power of mimicry easily place him In a class by
himself.
He does his make-up before the audience, entertaining them , the while
with his witicisms. His work, is mostly of a humorous character, yet nt
times his pathos touches the chord of human sympathy, and whilo the audi
ence is convulsed with laughter, they go away with a warm spot in their
hrts. Let's make "Joy Night", the first night of Chautauqua, a big night
