Black face comedian. John is as reliable as he ever was, and in a bad place on the bill and only a few people in the audience he managed to hold his own. I think that he is about one of the surest propositions in the business so far as holding the audience is concerned. I know that he would go strong in a better place on the bill, and he gets a much better place in the night show, but he is so sure of entertaining the people when there is a small house that the temptation to use him at that time is almost irresistible. 12 minutes in one.
