"Agnes."
Dudley Douglas is recently out of "Some Bride" but prior to that was with Elsie Pilcer, his wife, now in temporary retirement because of an addition to the family. Douglas' single routine, if the first, is a rather good attempt. He opened with a sort of parson bit, with specs and an open book, the attendant remarks bringing several laughs. "Agnes," a comedy number, also scored, and there was a laugh to the melodramatic recitation, which ended with "the rich get richer and the poor get children." Again he reverted to song for comedy purposes, sung with French dialect and business with a prop mustache. His final numbers were delivered straight. He earned an encore and again offered with another number, sure-fire because of "red fire" lines. Douglas will do for the three a day.
