Skippy Franklin Adams and Sooky (Francis Smith) "gave a show at the amphitheater constructed next to the Burnham Lagoon". Note; There is an erroneous ledger reference online that refers to the character of Skippy as being spoken by Franklin Adams, Jr.. Franklin W. Adams who portrayed Skippy was not a junior. In fact his father's name was Elmer. This was presumably mistyped at the time. (en)
