Clifton Crawford

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 20 min. in 1. Monologue and singing comedian, in fact a wonderfully versatile entertainer. Got quite an advance hand owing to the fact that he is well known here in connection with the Cadets’ Theatricals, which are occupying a considerable amount of attention in the public eye at present. This man went the biggest any single man in 1 ever has in this house have heard without a doubt whatever. I never in my time in this house have heard the tremendous applause accorded him. Great entertainer, who should be nabbed up for next year. This man in his spot was appreciated so much that everything following him seemed tame. In consequence, I will give him the lowest spot on the bill possible. Cut the story about one man having a pain in his side and wanted to know if he was going to have an Eve, also ‘don’t thank me’ after his story about a women who says she has ‘six children, thank you.’
