The act was eleven minutes long.
Gibson acts as a “singing souse” in English dress clothes. He holds a tailor’s dummy under his arm and proceeds to tell a tale about how he and his friend got into a fight in front of a tailor’s shop so he picked him up and ran. He leaves with the dummy and returns to sing two “blue” English songs.
Gibson has a unique idea, but he does not follow through with it. He just tells a few poor jokes and sings. Only good for the big small time.
