George Yoeman and Murray and Volk provided the comedy punch of the middle portion of the show. Yoeman had a tough time getting started. He tried the house with everything, laughing himself when a number of his pet gags failed to connect. But the exploration was successful. The automat matter did get over, and so Yoeman specialized on it, the laughs coming easily then. Yoeman is keeping his talk freshened by little additions, and there are always a few more laughs. His mention of the Lenox avenue subway train as the “Black diamond Express” is really funny for anyone who has gone uptown on those trains. The “hoke” of the Murray and Volk act also found a true target and the men delivered a hit on fourth, following the Yoeman single.
