Puns.
Jones and Sylvester play before an apartment house drop In one, with the fat man in the role of a vegetable peddler. The vegetables are used in punning gags which are very low and malodorous and highly appreciated. Puns that pine and die in a two-dollar hothouse blossom and flourish to almost rank fertility in the popular-priced meadows. The fat baby has a big voice and a large abdomen. He uses both for comedy; the abdomen is all right for comedy, but the voice is too good to waste that way, and if he should use it to sing a straight ballad number, it would not only strengthen the act but offset the horseplay which dominates the act.
