Blackface monologue and songs. Received advance applause on his entrance. Personality seems to be the keynote of his great success. The same stuff in other hands would fall flat. There is no question about his ability to ‘make good,’ but there are a number of acts that can turn the trick at less money, and it would seem that this man is getting all the money he is worth, especially when one considers that a dress suit case constitutes his ‘excess’ baggage and he has no ‘company’ to pay. This is his third trip here in ten months. A very good at. Probably the applause hit of the show. 30 mins in one.
