Living in what was once a public house, Reverend Potter brings joy and laughter to some of his little parishioners through his expert puppetry skills. With an air of charm and charisma, Reverend Potter effortlessly entertains the children gathered around him. His skillful manipulation of the dummy creates an illusion that captivates both boys and girls alike. The expressions on their faces reflect pure delight as they watch in awe at this unique form of entertainment.
