Singing and talking.
Frank King, in evening clothes, has selected a nondescript routine, combining about everything a single turn can offer. Apparently English, he runs more toward that line, following closely at time and handling the same numbers previously done by well-known English comedians who have been seen in this country. The opening portion, wherein he attempts some comedy talk, is dreadfully draggy and incomplete. Later he does a short piano bit that proved passable, although his closing bit before a special drop in "one" of a life-boat member is superfluous. It makes his turn even more disconnected. He should prove acceptable around the smaller circuits.
