Basil Lynn and William Hewland counted well in the comedy end of the show with their excellently done “A Racy Conversation,” which they displayed for a laughing hit, on fourth just before the Mack playlet. Lynn’s English Johnny was carried through without a slip, and his verses, “Red Roses and Red Noses,” and the like had the whole house giggling. Howland’s impression of John McCormack’s talking machine record is “Let the Rest of the World Go By.” It did not sound so much like a record as a low-pitched tenor, but it was splendidly done and drew encore. The men encored with a prison yard bit, which landed solidly in spite of the bit having been done before.
