Thank you so much for finding that image, Pampoen. I spent the rest of yesterday afternoon hunting for more mentions of "Jack Walton" on Trove. He seems to have arrived in Australia at either the tail end of 1894 or early '95, and appears on the stage for the first time (in a variety show put on by Messrs Cogill Brothers in Melbourne), on 2 Feb '95. He joined Maggie Moore's lot in early April and toured Sydney, then the provinces, until around the end of August of that year. His act seemed to consist mostly of playing tunes on the banjo, and he appeared to be pretty well received, judging by the reviews, so it's quite sad that things ended the way they did.
