The male impersonator wiggles about the stage, handles a snake and then does a "Jimmy Rice" impression down a flight of stairs in the Temple of Allah.
Texico never gets near enough to the original "Jimmy Rice," but he has evidently studied other acts. If he spends a little money on his costumes he will do well in the "pop" houses. While he cannot dance, he has the Ruth St. Denis hand stuff down. The end should come quickly after the snake bite. If it's the snake's fault. Tex ought to get a wild snake or tease the poor old thing he uses now. The wig-lifting brought a lot of "Ahs." He should feel satisfied that he can fool some of the audience.
