"Me and My Gal."
At last Thursday's matinee someone threw a hard-boiled egg at one of the acts., which stuck nevertheless and went off a bit. The evening root crowd, however, is much more orderly, and during the evening performance there was no misconduct. But the egg incident may have been the reason why Kane and Herman inserted some talk about eggs. Kane said something about liking his eggs soft. The team has recently been reunited and it is now in better shape
than when first out in face. It is a sure comedy smash for next-to-closing on pop bills. In that spot the pair romped away with most of the laughs and the biggest slice of applause. Though the dialog went over all the way the men got heaps out of the rendition of "Me and My Gal," the laughs coming with Kane's humorous sallies. George Leonard, teamed with Herman when the team split, is also using the same routine, claiming that privilege without apparent objection.
