Fred La France and Joe Kennedy got laughs on blackface dialog applied with a trowel, technically, and boxing gloves actually. The stuff is very corky and the makeup and wardrobe of the comedian are somewhat unpleasant. There were some hearty laughs and there would have been more had not the comic blunted many points by adding – not less than 10 times – “I’ll tell you that” after his cracker. No applause.
