Lew Ward, next to closing, scored the one big hit. He caught hold early with a "souse" number that was well done. It was the quick changes made upon the stage that brought him his success. Wearing a sort of a Jim Morton coat, he carries his "props" with him and changes without walking off. A "Yiddish" dance as his final number placed him in right with the audience and he showed judgement in not attempting anything else after it.
