A Scottish comedian and his bonnis lassie, Donald and Carson, are described as "comedians because they are humorous, and still have the haggis, heather, and' shortbread in their voices." A pantomimist and juggler, Ed La Vine, supplied the comedy act of the last Big pantomime at the Lyceum Theatre, London.
