CHARLES, W.H. Royal Adelphi Theatre Playbill. Hull: Peck and Smith, Printers, 1833. Letterpress playbill for ?the internal orator and comic lecturer? who will ?represent every possible illusion in this astonishing gift of nature, of which the human voice is capable?? Framed to 15 ? x 10 ??. Not examined out of frame.A very early ventriloquist?s bill, describing the ways Charles will modulate his voice to ?deceive the senses of the audience,? as opposed to conducting a dialogue with a variety of puppets as is common today.
