He is doing a bit of first rate mimicry in the impersonation of Cliff Gordon's “German politician.” He has caught the Gordon dialect perfectly and manages that comedian's poses and carriage with skill.
The George M. Cohan imitation has been done to death on the vaudeville stage, but Weston gets away with it by the closeness of the copy. The youngster is a clever dialect comedian and since his last showing here has worked in a number away from mimicry, singing “My Maricuccia” in a character and dialect. It went very nicely.
