CATFISH CATCHER
WINS GRAND MEDAL
George Wills, Who is
Amusing Arcadium’s
Patrons This Week, is
Great Fisherman.
Charleston, S. C„ Jan. 15, 1909.
Will accept provided channel cat
fish fishing in your vicinity is good.
Wire here care Majestic. George W
Wills.
Augusta, Ga., Jan. 15, 09.
Fine for catfish here. Have booked
you for next week to open Monday
afternoon. Kauffman.
This Is rather a peculiar line of tel
egrams to lead up to a vaudeville
engagement, but this is the induce
ment that has caused George W.
Wills famous as a nonsense comedian
to appear at the Arcadium here this
week.
Wills is a vaudeville star and hai
not strayed out this way since he was
featured In the opera of “Billee Tay
lor,” in which he sang the leading
tenor role.
* It seems that Wills, with Grace
Barron, his wife, are spending the
winter leisurely by laying oft from
the big circuits and playing when
they please at the vaudeville houses
in the smaller towns. Wills has a
mania for fishing and especially for
channel catfish. His wife claims that
it is because these are the only fish
foolish enough to let him catch them,
but the reason probably Is that the
cats can be caught at night after the
show Is over just as well as early
in the morning, which is the ungodly
hour at which most fish are taken in
the greatest numbers.
Wills arrived a week ahead of his
engagement purposely to fish for cat
fish in the Savannah.
When his mania for "cats" became
known he was guided to the best
places for catching them and com
mittees accompanied him on his night
ly visits to the river bank.
He has been presented with a
medal to show his prowess with the
fish hook.
Wills has a singing and talking act
in which he appears In the character
of “Happy Hooligan.” The creator
of that celebrated personality, J*.
Opper, the cartoonist, said of him:
“I suppose that the number of act
ors who have made up to imperson
ate ‘Happy Hooligan’ number Into th»
thousands. I have seen some scores
myself, but the only one who came
close to my Ideal was George Wills,
whom I saw at Keith’s theatre. New
York.”
