Jack Benny has a violin and talk. Mainly talk. He handles himself as though having played small time, though his talk material la new. When Benny said he had stopped smoking as smoking is now too effeminate, he waited for the expected laugh which was not as hearty as he looked for so he repeated the gag. Later when nearing the finish and the right exit, he pointed to his name on the card, while playing the violin, and saying. “Jack Benny. That’s me. They couldn’t get my light name on it.”
