Monologue jokes and singing.
Like all eccentric men he got some applause, but he left no deep impression embossed on the Palace memories.
Joseph L. Browning, with his act unchanged since last time here, forced laughs on observations anent women, peek-a-boo waists (no longer fashionable in wear or monologs), etc., without adding any to the nation's archives of philosophy or immortal comedy. He smiles at his own jokes, which is verification of that old law of self-preservation. He sings for "points" and he goes from Solomon to the war in France after laughs, which is covering a lot of territory.
