Impersonation of another vaudeville act, singing and talking.
On next to closing, and about sharing honors with Miss Wentworth, were Lou Payton and Eddie Hickey, doing Jimmie Hussey's "Fox Hunters." Payton gives a fair imitation of Hussey's style of talking, and the team is using two of the song numbers, including "Jim," now used by Hussey and Worsely, although not Jimmie's parodies. One of Hussey's jokes on the wise ones could be seen in the "Oh I'm sick; I thing I lost $50; I've looked in all pockets except one." But instead of Payton saying it was a $50 bill he says it was a $20 bill. Maybe Jimmie thought $50 was too much for small time.
