"The Nominee."
"The Nominee" is the title Hoey and Lee have given their latest offering, because it gives the two comedians an opportunity of portraying two Hebraic characters. One is a candidate for Senator and the other his campaign manager. There is a political parade of about a dozen followers bearing signs which are good for a laugh. The candidate is then introduced by his campaign manager and launches into a speech which carries comedy. The talk is not too lengthy and seems just about right to lead up to the parodies, which are really the hit of the offering. Following the talk is a medley in which all of the nationally advertised commodities from B.V.D.'s to Major's Cement are mentioned. One parody has an old smutty story as its theme and should be ordered out by house managers. The story is familiar to almost everyone. The moment is was sung Monday night there were blushes by the girls and loud guffaws by the men in the audience.
