Harry Cooper and Co. are having the same struggle as many new acts are facing with the introduction of Hammerstein's 17-act policy; where there was only two or three bad spots during the show, there is now three at the opening end and about as many at the closing. Cooper and his company appeared well after eleven.
Harry is a letter carrier, still the Hebrew comedian and always funny. When he runs out of fun her falls back on his excellent voice. He is backed up by a quartet and a girl appears for a few minutes while the comedian sings a pathetic little ditty about his daughter.
In spite of the ill placement, Cooper did well Monday night because he is known there.
When Copper decided to return to vaudeville he should have grabbed brother Ike and performed with some of the old quartet suits. He would have saved five uniforms and four salaries, all the while pleasing the audience more.
