The act which really cleaned up was James Watts, assisted by Rex Storey in the roughest kind of a rough-neck English music hall comedy. In supposedly intellectual Boston, Watts had them rolling out of their seats in hysterics. He must have had three-quarters of the house with him and the remainder openly disgusted. However, he got the biggest hand of the evening and is running much stronger than on his first booking here. Coming after Mlle. Dazie, as he did. It made an ideal set-up for his dancing burlesque. In much the same way young Dooley always likes to follow Ruth St. Denis on any bill.
