Playing “Fagan’s Decision.” Of course every one in the audience loves Spareribs. The act has always goes well in Cleveland, and the people here consider it a bit of slang classic. Jean Redini went out scouting and stole the hungriest looking dog I have ever seen—also the dirtiest. He has fed the dog a ton of meat and has a rope round his neck, has named him Spareribs, and rehearsed him all morning he would get acquainted with the footlights. The Ushers did 20 min. C.D.F. Received five curtain calls.
