Comic dialogue and singing.
McCormick and Irving did nicely on fourth, the man's nut stuff getting across. When he said he would sing, but that it was no imitation of "the other McCormack." Al Fields, who came upstairs to take a smoke, applauded. McCormack may or may not have known that when he called himself a "Twelfth Avenue Bevo hound" that he was kidding the audience, for the American is the "Palace" to the west siders.
