The second half was started off by Leo Beers, pianalogist, who bills himself "the artistic aristocrat." That alone is enough to antagonize an audience - that assumption of superiority, which grows apace, when the act itself does not justify it in the smallest degree. Beers has a pleasing "delicate" personality, but brings nothing new to big time. His opening and closing is a duplicate of the one used by Albert Whelan for many years. Maybe he had it first but it has been done here for several seasons.
