[New act] Monologist, 13 min.; one. Made up for comedy as a caricature of a “ward heeler,” Mr. Raymond stands on a soapbox for a sidewalk political “speech.” He is a candidate for Congress, and while he does not adhere to the political routine, swerving from it for semi-serious patriotic rhyming, he has an original monolog, well characterized and replete with satirical quips. More of the comedy and less of the partly serious stuff would make him a candidate for big time honors.
