Bert Fitzgibbon proved as game as game can be. He walked out after the Dunn sketch had gripped the audience to do his monkeyshines and nut didoes. Bert was there with bulldog tenacity and he hung on until he had them coming his way. Bert has one of those Hi-Henry toppers with silk gloss rubbed off with emery dust and he throws and bangs it around for an occasional laugh. He sang "Jane" for a closer and three young men stalked down the aisle and "plugged" the chorus, Bert doing an exist with a little nonsensical "bit" with two inflated balloons, blown up by him as the boys were doing a barbershop chord out front. Bert's style of fun was thoroughly enjoyed and paved the way nicely for Elizabeth Brice and Charles King.
