Additional Details

John Larkin (c 1879-1936) was considered one of the funniest men on stage at the peak of his career. He performed with the Champion Cake Walkers and Maurice Booms' Black Diamond Company until 1902, when he joined with Dora Patterson as Larkins & Patterson. The present show with Patterson toured the country in 1902-1903. In 1907, Larkins joined up with Black Patti's touring group, as their chief comedian. There he revised and combined his "Trip to the Jungle," and another routine, "A Trip to Africa" into a starring vehicle for Black Patti.
