Frank Fogerty, next to closing, scored
a substantial success. There is a truly
Irish subtlety about his wit that is immensely
effective.
Fogerty is one of the
few single talking comedians who don't
support the popular theory that "after all
the old stuff goes better." His early talk
is as bright as it is new, and, what is
more to the point, it scores with certainty.
No swifter play of delightful humor has
been heard this long time than the collection
of miscellaneous yams with which
"The Dublin Minstrel" opened his specialty.
The political speech at the close was
an applause getter.
