"Piney Ridge" and "Along the Rocky Road to Dublin."
Al Herman followed Miss Jardon and gathered a continuous string of laughs with his improved monolog. Herman opened with "Piney Ridge," which gave him a satisfactory start, and he then proceeded to bottle up the comedy end of the bill with his talk. His remarks anent the preceding acts constituted the strongest section of his specialty, and while some may question his originality in this respect, none can argue on his ability. ... He closed with "Along the Rocky Road to Dublin" with Harry Hoch assisting in the audience. It rounded out his offering in excellent shape and as it stands now Herman can take a whirl around the country without a single change.
