Leon Morris' Educated and Comedy Ponies
animal act / 1890s
Toronto Daily Mail and Empire; Saturday - November 4, 1899 (pg22) "The Biograph is only one of the features of Mr. Shea's big show for next week. He has discovered another animal act, and one that will rival Leonidas and his dogs. This act is Leon Morris' educated and comedy ponies, in which a burly negro, chuck full of humour, plays a prominent part. These ponies perform all sorts of difficult tricks, but it is their wrestling match with the colored man that brings down the house.
