Another single was Mitt Collins, No. 4 with the material used by the late Cliff Gordon in make-up, mannerism and matter. His topical talk including politics did something in a way, and had Mr. Collins sufficient personality to aid his delivery he would be ever so much better off as a dialect monologist. The similarity in many spots to the talk of Collins and Senator Francis Murphy, who are doing “Dutch” topical stuff. Seems to say that both have secured their material from the same author (Aaron Hoffman) and may be appearing through an understanding. Mr. Collins should drop the horse-meat dialog, extending to the jack-ass bit. It’s offensive in its suggestions of eating horse flesh, whether culled from newspaper reports or not.
