“Babe” Ruth – Assisted by Wellington Cross

(27 mins.) Despite the fact that Ruth just managed to reach here in time to go on for the matinee and was suffering from a heavy cold, his act got over in great shape with a capacity audience on Monday. The help of Mr. Cross is a great thing for Ruth and I doubt if any other artist I know could do as much. Our audience appeared to be equally surprised and entertained and the finish, with the mind reading stunt that Cross has done in vaudeville before, is an ideal bit of business for this act.
