"The Battle of Whatsheuse."
The comedy hit was corralled by Ed. Gallagher and Joe Roltey, on eighth, with the travesty, "The Battle of Whatstheuse." This turn has lasted throughout the war (its origin, of course, long ante-dates that), but it seems funnier now than ever. There is some new material n the routine, and certainly there are more laughs. Rolley has developed into a corking blackface comic and bis "blue" playing on the mouth organ Is a feature. One of their gags is of the colored soldier and his wrist watch.
