"Minnie, Shimmy for Me."
The preceding turns made No. 4 a very soft spot for Jimmie Lucas with his "assistants," including the old boy with the white whiskers and army coat in the box. Jimmie announces "wid ravings of 1919," the said ravings being along the same lines as before, but burnished up with new gags and songs, but with the "transformation rose" still the main idea. Lucas hit his stride by shouting "No beer, no work," right off the reel. and that brought laughter and applause. His best comic was "Minnie, Shimmy for Me," and for encore he asked the old soldier to try a bit of shimmy.
