Finally Bert Fitzgibbon wandered on. The daffy one had been moved up from the fourth spot and had to stall for several minutes to wait for his brother, Lew, who was dressing when the call for pinch hitters sounded. Fitzgibbons thereupon proceeded to demonstrate “spots” meant nothing in his life, by stopping the show cold in the deucer. He nutted his way into instant popularity and was very muchly indebted to his brother’s likeable personality and musical ability. About the middle of the act Bert discovered the signs hadn’t changed. He immediately put a clown skating burlesque sliding back to appear with some Anderson and Yvel’s wardrobe. It was a howl.
