Singing and piano playing.
Stone is a blind pianist.
Anyhow so heavily handicapped as to be totally blind and who has the grit to fight deserves commendation. But Stone is an entertainer with all. He does very'well, effecting a number of resonant chords during his playing. He opens with a lyric telling of the songs he will sing. Wearing spectacles, it is not at first apparent that he is blind. Only the billing divulges that Stone constantly faces the audience with a pleasant smile that is catching and his immaculate evening dress is also an aid. Stone's is a turn that fits small time for it is unusual. He has been in vaudeville before.
