Frisco imitation.
White was on seventh, showing the new opening and closing numbers. He is due for a trip to French Lick Springs for three weeks, when be returns to wind up the season by a third visit to other New York Keith houses, then to show at other centres. This week is White's third at the Colonial. Even before he asked for a cigar for the Frisco imitation the gallerites called out that he had the "gimmes." White failed to "grub" cigarettes, the recent advance in cost of which may have made him lay-off. Concerted applause which the house employed several times during the evening, brought White out even after the piano for Fay was rolled on, George pulled a nifty by dancing to the beat of the applause, no music being played.
