Griff has a method that is all his own.
The act is built along travesty lines,
Griff doing a series of burlesque feats. It
is his delightful patter that really makes
the act. For subtlety, keeness and swift
humor the Englishman stands well toward
the top of the list of imported
comedians.
Working against these handicaps Griff
put across a solid laughing quarter of an
hour, one of the most enjoyable periods
of the. evening.
Griff has been over here for some
time now, and has established himself
as a standard comedy number, but he will
go a long time before he accomplishes a
more brilliant success than he is winning
this week.
