Comic dialogue. Violin.
"A Day at Ellis Island."
"Ruffus Johnson's Harmony Band."
The act is an old one but Samuels has new lines making it amusing no matter how often seen. The boy's violin playing stands up as well as usual, he having selected a number of good pieces, including "Ruffus Johnson's Harmony Band," the title of which is announced before it is played by Samuels. It is hardly necessary as the piece is pretty well known.
