They continued to walk out on so excellent an act as Fred LaFrance and Joe Kennedy’s new vehicle. “The Patty of the Second Part,” as funny a blackface duo as any of them. The situation of a “wise coon” fight promoter explaining the complications of a fight contract to a bonehead ducky pug has endless possibilities and they make the most of it. The exchange of talk about signing of the “black hope” with a wild man from Michigan who has only knocked out a dozen topnotchers “always by accident” and the stupid reluctance of the lazy coon is screaming comedy. But the audience had been killed off.
