Farrington uses film to accentuate and complement his stage appearance.
Speeches and monologue. Singing.
"I Murdered Him" and "Birthday."
The audience wasn't interested in [his stories].
In appearance he is a "stalking legit" and while on the stage he never gives the impression of being at ease. The opening shows a few hundred feet of film leading to a rush to the stage door of the theatre to reach there in time. At the conclusion Mr. Farrington dashes on the stage. He proceeds to relate a few incidents concerning his adventures in pictures. The audience wasn't interested in them. His attempts at humor got little. Following this he offered three songs, all evidently English. The first was something about "I Murdered Him" and the second about a "Birthday."
