Singing and comic monologue.
"Everything is Going Up."
Sam J. Harris, in cutaway opens with a Salvation Army number that often sounds like "Oh, What a Night," a former pop song. A topical song, "Everything Is Going Up," presumably special, follows before he goes into a short monolog. The gags were not any too strong, and Harris always started laughing first himself— whether from habit is not certain. It may be a part of his showmanship. Another topical song earned an encore, in which he used a good "aye" audience song. Better small time feature.
