Henry Lewis, the headliner, was next to closing and had the audience in a constant scream of laughter for almost 25 minutes. He has added four or five minutes of new material since at the Palace to weeks ago, and it is all sure fire. Mr. Lewis has a delivery that gets to the audience from the start and the manner in which he puts over a serious ballad and then adds a bit of humorous verse parodying. It lands the song just about twice as effectively as though it was done straight. His act is "A Vaudeville Cocktail" in the truest sense of the word.
