The diminutive Chris Richards, English, happened on next to closing for a good score. He is typically English in his brie song numbers, but has added a lot of American slang which they probably wouldn’t get in London. His short, snappy acrobatic dances never failed. Richards is a clever hat manipulator, a sort of lost art. For the revolver bit he pulled a “local,” saying he supposed the gun belonged to kitty Gordon. At least one women present got him and laughed heartily.
