Violin playing
The walkout was in progress when Ben Bernie floated out with his violin and it looked for a while as though he would be unable to stop it. As his act livened up the walkout stopped or else those who had trains to catch had left the house. He closed fairly well. It is his first visit here as a single and it wasn't until after he mentioned Baker, his partner, being in the service that many recalled him as one-half of an act that has always been able to clean up big in Boston.
