This act would be classed as good. No doubt it pleases the audience, but from a managerial standpoint, I don’t think all that is in them is gotten out of it. The Picks are allowed to do too much of their own idea of comedy whereas if some one would keep after them a little closer and get a good deal of the rick work that “Bill Jones” used to do for Gassman, the act would be converted from a good act into a holler. The act is not coached properly.
