"When I Leave the World Behind."
Barber and Jackson started off quietly and slowly but the tall feller's comedy efforts soon pulled them up to the level. His height is unusual and his long legs and arms would have a better comedy value were they dressed to carry out the contrast gag more decidedly. He has several good parodies and they rang the bull's-eye Monday. His dance also boosted things. The woman did her best work on 'When I Leave the World Behind," and a singer helped materially by hitting the chorus from a box. The act hauled down one of the big hits of the show.
