Some of his songs have
a touch of the "blue" in them, but some
of his gestures are a fine, startling, royal
purple. A
lot of it had to do with the "closeness"
i the Scot and it was fine, spontaneous,
clean comedy. It would have gone much
better had not the "blue" stuff preceded.
The incidental business that
went with his second song made the audience
gasp for breath. That sort of matter
may do over in McKay's native land,
but not for the Colonial audience, or any
other intelligent gathering over here. It's
a pity, too, because McKay has real
humor.
