Singing and talk.
Brown is a chunky lad, and from some of his talk he was in the Army, but not overseas. He opens with a rhyme on when the war will end. That's a bit out of date. He then sings "Barney Carney," which is followed by talk anent high prices and the draft, the latter also a bit A. K., and the talk in general seemingly home-made in kind. Brown has a finish, however. While dancing and singing "Mammy of Mine," a number that is a sure comer and the brightest in his routine, he corks up, extracting the grease paint from his trousers pockets. This novelty twist is the best part of the routine.
