Julius Tannen, the other male single, tossed of his chatter next to closing, leaping with verbal agility from Minneapolis to Los Angeles and back to Rockaway, described as a place where the English language is not understood. Tannen, too, came through with a ripping bit of poetic reading called “All Americana,” an appeal and a protest against foreign agitation here. There seemed to be plenty of fresh matter in the Tannen talk and a few familiar lines. One of the latter was about the laundrice sharpening collars while cleaning them. Ed Wynn is using that gag in his “Carnival.” Neither has specifically made claim to it.
