Harry Lander was a featured comic with the “Behman Show” last season, and is to be starred with the Jack Singer show next season. Lander is filling in a week or two in vaudeville before the burlesque season starts with former Lander Bros. act. He’s tramp comic of the old school, supplemented with mannerisms all his own and an original method of handling low comedy. Lander’s best score was made with the travesty dramatic recitation identified with the Lander Bros. act. It’s an odd little lyric with a peculiarly twisted word at the end of each line. The straight warbled a ballad or two with results and made a good foil for Lander’s clowning. If the act intended to remain in vaudeville a new finish would have to be secured, as the present finale isn’t strong enough to follow the comedy stuff which precedes it. The act held up the second half, doing very well next to closing.
