“The College Boy from Ipswitch.” Merritt introduces imitations, comedy comment, stories, in fact a little bit of everything—during the running fire of which he executes a couple of comedy crayon caricatures. Went well from beginning to end. His encore, giving an imitation of a woman dressing her hair, proved a genuine scream and was especially appreciated by the feminine members of the audience. Finished strong. 16 minutes, special set in 1.
