Due to an unfortunate accident, Dooley is appearing alone as a single without Corinne Sales. In fact, he states that he was forced to appear alone in a speech at the conclusion of his act.
The comedian begins his work with an entrance that will be a scream once it gets into shape. He follows an act with a parlor set. When the drop goes up he is seen arguing with one of the stage hands. After his argument with the stage hands and orchestra, he makes his way to the footlights, the rest of his act done in "one."
At the "small timer," where he is appearing, the comedian did a clean up that didn't seem possible, for the audience actually forgot all about the pictures and made him come back for a speech.
At times he follows the styles of Jim Morton, Frank Tinney and Harry Fox. At other times, when he is just himself, he is just as funny. He will have a great chance as a single.
