SARNIA POST.
He is an artist in the A1 class, and kept the audience delighted.  He was down on the program for five appearances, but responded to fifteen encores.  (Collegiate Institute Concert).


GALT REPORTER.
Mr. Cameron is a born entertainer.  It comes as natural for J. H. Cameron to be humorous in a real unstrained way as it is easy for water to run down hill.  As a monologist his work is incomparable.  As a character delineator and dialect entertainer, there is no other entertainer on the Canadian stage to-day who is his peer.  Galt people will gladly welcome the re-appearance of J. H. Cameron.


THE SCOTTISH CANADIAN.
One has to see and hear this prince of entertainers to fully estimate his powers.  His humor is irresistible and his facial expressions inimitable.  His dramatic selections touched all the finer feelings of the human heart.  He is a gentleman, and his work is clean.


CHATHAM EVENING BANNER.
If there is one man above all others who is always welcome in this city it is J. H. Cameron, of Toronto.  It was only last spring that he was here, and yet he is received with great enthusiasm on his second appearance within eight months.  He is a famous entertainer, and his arrangements are most clever.



BERLIN NEWS-RECORD.
The inimitable J. H. Cameron threw out great big bouquets of merriment and laughter.  He tabooes the boisterous, and his fine delicacy of quiet humor, his wide range of monologue and strong descriptive powers, place Mr. Cameron in the forefront of entertainers.


GUELPH MERCURY.
The humorist of the evening was J. H. Cameron, and he proved, as usual, a prince among entertainers.  He has a humorous twinkle in his eye that is irresistible, and a droll way of speaking that appeals to the humor of the audience.  Cameron does not rely on any grotesque make-up to make his listeners laugh, but simply on his power of presenting the ludicrous side of things to his audiences.


THE TRIBUNE, DESERONTO.
To speak of J. H. Cameron requires a versatile pen, for never was there a man more versatile than this same Cameron.  Selections from Barrie, whose rich humor is irresistible, or the dramatic lines of Burns' masterpiece, A Man's a Man for a' That, fall from his lips with equal facility.  Whether it is a burr-tongued Scot or a limping, halt old man, is one to Cameron.  (Scotch Concert.)


THE NEWS, SAGINAW, MICH.
J. H. Cameron, an entertainer of quaint manner and versatile talent, easily established himself a favorite with his audience.  He was accorded numerous encores, and uncorked a selection of stories, jokes and songs that fairly kept the house convulsed.  Mr. Cameron has an agile tongue and not the slightest difficulty in flavoring his tales of old world people with the true Scottish burr, while his command of the delightfully perplexing idiom of the Highlander is good enough to be native.


STRATHROY AGE.
Mr. Cameron is the prince of entertainers and a whole host in himself.  He captivated his audience from the very first and was called upon to appear again and again.  He has been here on several occasions, but the ovation that greeted him Friday evening was the greatest yet.  (Collegiate Institute Concert.)


NIAGARA FALLS REVIEW.
Mr. Cameron is different from the other fellow.  He is equally at home, and is equally pleasing to his audience, whether he is singing a humorous song, telling side-splitting stories, or giving a strong dramatic recitation.


EVENING NEWS, BUFFALO, N.Y.
The star attraction at the Buffalo St. Andrew's Society Concert was Mr. J. H. Cameron, and he gallantly filled the bill.  Mr. Cameron needs not praise for his encouragement, but deserves it.  He has a rare fund of humor and an unquestioned ability as a story teller.  His dialects are cleverly sustained.  His wit is spontaneous, and he has the rare ability to put in a story that just touches the point with the audience.  In Ain't it Funny What a Difference a Few Hours Make?  he was as good as Hitchcock, who made the song famous, while he gave his hearers abundant thrills of patriotic fervor when he recited a dramatic selection.  In response to frequent encores Mr. Cameron told stories or sang songs, just as the humor seized him, and he always left his audience asking for more.


THE EVENING NEWS, SAULT STE.  MARIE, MICH.
One of the largest audiences ever gathered beneath the roof of the Soo Opera House enjoyed an unusual treat last night when J. H. Cameron filled in for two hours, taking his own part on the program, as well as that of other artists who missed connections at Mackinaw City and did not arrive in the Soo until 11 o'clock.  Few artists could have performed so difficult a task so successfully as did Mr. Cameron.  Although he appeared alone, assisted only by an accompanist, there were no long waits between the numbers, and the astonishing variety of his selections relieved the program of even the faintest suspicion of monotony.  Mr. Cameron's accomplishments are many.  His comic songs kept the audience in a roar of laughter, and his skits, recitations and stories, which ranged from grave to gay and from the pathetic to the sublime, furnished the necessary variety.


GUELPH HERALD.
With Madam Albani and her English Concert Company.
Mr. J. H. Cameron appeared as an extra attraction with Madam Albani and her company.  The entertainer, as Mr. Cameron is called, amply justified the title he has chosen.  His style is distinctly good, and far above the 'character comic.'  His selections were good, his elocution excellent, and his humorous songs just what is wanted in his particular line.




WHEN the public entertainer (with an insight into human character and the imaginative power to reproduce it) strikes some common theme of our universal life, we flash back to him our approving smile; he shows ourselves to ourselves as others see us; proves himself at once discoverer and creator, and finds his reward in the smile of public opinion.

MR. CAMERON offers a repertoire of

MONOLOGUES,
IMPERSONATIONS,
HUMOROUS SONGS, SKITS,
DIALECT STORIES and
DRAMATIC SKETCHES,

to which he is constantly adding.
