_Two Styles: A Tale with a Moral._
[Illustration]
Uffizzi Robbinson was blessed with a very full rich, tenor voice but a
very empty purse and he stood in need of a HOLIDAY.
So he cut his hair & otherwise disguised himself & went off to Brighton,
and having hired a piano & boy took up his station on the front and
started in to make his fortune.
He sang song after song, all of them highly classical, in his most
approved style, but his audience being limited and critical, his
prospects looked gloomy.
A gentle hint from his boy set him thinking!! He DISAPPEARED!!! A shadow
on the blind gave the only indication of what he was doing!!
Until one evening he reappeared on the front in all the glories of
collar & banjo, sang vulgar comic songs in a vulgar comic manner to a
vast and appreciative audience and lived in clover for the rest of
the season.
