Clown makeup, works with a table and chair. Acrobatics and tumbling. Some comedy in these tricks.
"No. 2" at Hammerstein's Monday night Mr. Howard made the crowd sit up for awhile, and did very well in total.
He can easily open on big time now, and should have been opening after intermission on this bill. Howard as a tumbler has a couple of tricks that stand out. One or two of the comedy bits are too well known, and the finish isn't strong enough. The act isn't well balanced, starting too fast for the ending. It shouldn't require much work for Eddie Howard to place himself in a class alone as a single comedy tumbling clown, the only one of his kind now in vaudeville.
