20 min. in 1 – Had a lot of new talk and songs, and made good in a difficult place in the bill. His hit was made with a topic song at the finish, for which he received several recalls. Personally, I think hom [sic] coarse and suggestive and occasionally have complains about him, but he goes big with the large majority, and there is no way of “cutting” him unless it is to drop him out altogether. I think we can do without him for a while.
