2 shows, 20 min. in 1 – First time here for more than a year of this juggling comedian, who was as well received as at any time that I can remember. He opened with his old stuff, juggling cigar boxes, lamps, etc. than tacked on a new monologue about women and marriage, for which he wanted an additional increase in salary of $50. Per week. Refused to have it at any price, and no matter what he does, do not consider he is worth any more salary. The new monologue material would be considered offensive by people of fine tastes, and we would not have him do it in this house even if he asked nothing in addition for it. Will have him do his old act during the week.
