Gus Edwards

Date:
1 woman, 2 men, 1 little boy. Time 28. Mr. Edwards carries the woman for the spotlight on the box effect. The little boy comes down the aisle from among the audience and “kindly obliges” with a refrain or two. Otherwise the act is laconic. Mr. Edwards’ engaging personality and his imitable method of exploiting his own compositions puts him down on record as one of the biggest hits of the season. His final applause was deafening.
