Cane and falling comedy.
Singing and comedy.
Mr. Fitzgibbon had an excellent chance, but ruined it through "song plugging," standing for a plant to walk down the aisle, not alone singing one verse of the song, but repeating it. Fitzgibbon up to that moment did extremely well. He has refined the early portion of his act, added a cane that gets lots of comedy, and does a very funny fall and disappearance into the drop. But the "song plugging" let the act down too suddenly. Fitzgibbon should drop it, especially just now when he is going in for something better in the "nut" field, along classier lines than formerly.
