Mr. Campbell and his excellent pianist, Hector McCarthy, held this difficult spot without any trouble. The singing was received with great applause and to say that he made a hit is putting it very mildly. His pianist played a classical number which was highly appreciated. The whole act uncovers the fact that the public are willing to listen to something good rather than a lot of jazz. This might apply to the bill in general, which is particularly free from cheap clap trap, bad music and vulgarity. Mr. Campbell did 22 min. in one.
