[WED-THU]; Ned, the Musically Educated Seal; Charles E. Collins
Clifford is not featured in advertisements on Monday, July 4, and the newspapers did not publish on Tuesday, July 5, because of the holiday, so it’s impossible to know if he performed that day. Charles E. Collins is listed in “Amusements This Evening” each day this week. He’s not listed, however, in any of the ads.
