It took quite a while for the show to get started Tuesday night, the first three turns falling in a row. Ben Bernie, fourth, finally succeeded in creating some real vaudeville atmosphere and the rest of the show just romped along for a series of consecutive applause wallops. Mr. Bernie has developed into a first rate monologist, the fiddling now being a secondary consideration. Preceding Bernie, Baroness De Hollub had taken a terrific flop, which made it all the harder for the kidding violinist. He had a lot to overcome but managed to win out with honors. A raft of encores and a “speech” attested Bernie’s hit.
