Burt Adler enters from the left wing announcing the next act to be a famous violinist whereupon the spot is thrown on the opposite side, and he enters with a violin and goes into a monolog while threatening to play the instrument which breaks at his attempt. Adler delivers his talk well, but needs newer material. He started slowly and worked up to good finish with a couple of gags that sounded new and a recitation in the vernacular of a baseball game representing the Kaiser as the pitcher striking the Allies out one by one until Uncle Sam’s doughboy stopped to the bat.
