His "comedy" lies in his
songs and characterizations. There is no
dialog excepting the announcements preceding
each number.
Each character has a song.
There are five in all: "Dutch," "Rube"
"Coon," "Soubret" and "Italian," in that
order. His "Dutchman" was quite good,
and singing "Baby Doll" in "rag time"
started applause, loudly continued after
the "soubret." This effeminate impersonation
with "I'm Crazy to Go On the
Stage" seemed altogether out of place in
the act, but was second best liked by the
audience.
