On at 2.50, 17 min, in 1. Whitelaw has a lot of good stories which he tells very well, and some very good popular songs. He is holding this place all right. On Monday afternoon he told quite a lot of junk that verge quite close to the vulgar and suggestive. I had a talk with him and told him to change some of his material, which he did at the night show. I think with the stuff he is doing now, he could get by anywhere. I was forced to perform an operation in major surgery, as before stated, on his material. In the shape he is doing it now, no one need be afraid that he will offend in the least, and I think he will make good in any house.
