Singing and jokes.
Ed Phillips, dressed in a tuxedo, sang some songs and told gags among which were several old boys. He got across. Phillips replaced Wong and Sully on short notice. The latter, a comedy dancing turn, appeared at the matinee show, were one of the men hurt the back of his neck during the course of an acrobatic dance. Manager Rooney let them do the supper show but decided to secure a substitute for the rest of the week. Phillips' concluding "cissy" number is too old. His encore dance went fairly.
