Scotch comedian:- 20 min in 1. 2 shows. ON at 7:37. We were led to believe that this act was so very Scotch that it would not appeal to our audiences very strongly. However, the novelty of Whitford’s work seemed to get them interested right away and he received good hands for each one of his songs. Whitford keeps constantly in motion from one end of the stage to the other, and puts in a lot of funny business that brings titter from all parts of the house. His stories are told quite originally, and altogether there is a sprightliness and sureness about his work that ought to make him a favorite. Think that he will go even better and stronger with the evening audiences this week. Will go down a little further on the bill.
