John D. Gilbert

GYH 2. In eccentric comedy. Much to my surprise, Mr. Gilbert walked on and made a big hit. Everything that he did called for roars of laughter. He has a comic personality about him which seems to appeal especially to women, and I noticed in particular that they were laughing every moment he was on the stage. While he has nothing especially new, it is a good lively act. 23 minutes in one.
