"Eight Hoboes on the Road," featuring Jesse L. Lasky, Gus Pixley, Sam Dody, Richard Bennett, William C. Gordon, Tommy Van, Brooke Van Valer, Charles N. Nelson and Hugh Brady.
The hit of the act is the number by Gus Pixley called "He's Happy When He Whistles This Tune." Pixley makes a really funny tramp, and his eccentric dance won him substantial applause.
The singing is its chief virtue just now, the comedy which is interpolated being for the most part rather makeshift.
