Jokes and recitations.
Abe Attell used the same monolog that he started out with in New York. Attell's long stay in the east and Packey McFarland's great popularity locally makes it pretty rough going for Abey, but Attell has the satisfaction of doing a regular monolog and a recitation which is entirely out of Packey's line now. Abe almost forgot that he was in Chicago when he used the "When I was out in Chicago" line, and shifted quickly to a Los Angeles substitution.
