Ben Smith placed between Miss Wirth and the Masters and Kraft turn, went off to excellent returns. His confidential parlor car chatter drew some laughs though there was a bit too much familiar matter. When he flashed his tenor, however, he had things his own way. His use of “Sweetheart Blues” counted more for the medley worked in. But Smith showed a nifty lyric with “A Union of Our Own,” the lines being based on the labor federation idea.
