Colonel Jack George, blackface, does a bit
of singing, the major portion of his act consisting
of a political speech, making laughable
references to national celebrities from
the president down.
Every time he wishes
to bring home a point he emphasizes It by
striking his rostrum with what appears to be a long piece of rubber, and the "thwack"
seems to bring the laughter more spontaneously
and more forcibly.
