Diamond and Smith have switched their repertoire of songs about somewhat, improved the quality of their moving picture films, and added a new comic "coon" song at the opening.
They work up a tremendous volume of "thank you" applause first through the "Fireman" number and then with a patriotic song at the finish. Diamond and Smith spread their sentiment and patriotism on pretty thick, but the audience seem to like it that way.
The presence of Diamond and Smith, who make a rather cloying appeal to sentiment, might be esteemed to detract j somewhat from the "class" of the show, but the evening was one of uninterrupted enjoyment for the East Side audience.
