The review of Little Tich at the Tivoli Theatre by Arnold Golsworthy reads:
Little Tich is, of course, a host in himself, and whether he is singing or dancing, or merely falling over his other foot, he keeps the house in a roar of laughter all the time. In response to a well-defined encore that evening he brought upon the stage a pair of boots very little less than a yard long. I might have taken a different standard of measurement, of course, but one is apt to be accused of the levity if one expresses the length of boots in - feet. He danced in these boots, he sat down and hid himself behind them and finally swung himself up and walked about on the toes of them. The turn was excellent in every way, and nothing but the fall of the curtain could stop the repeated demands for more."
