YRR 2. Drop 2, 17 mins. Impersonator of celebrated composers. The audience today knew no more of the characters he impersonated than he does dancing a jig. His peculiar mannerisms of the various selections played, caught the house. We could not allow Hammerstein’s impersonation here, although he could add that to his selections in the other houses, where the act should go very strong.
