And it was slam-bang variety that won out Monday night, as represented by the Monarch Comedy Four. It’s one of those old-time singing fours, with a nance, Tad, eccentric and semi-straight. Every time the Tad started to tell a gag the nance broke him up, and always for riotous comedy returns. Just to cinch their comedy hit, the eccentric slaps the Tad on the back with a folded newspaper, likewise for howls. Not so very funny in telling, perhaps but distinctly so in a low-comedy way, as handled by the Monarch Four. They sing tunefully, much above the average, with a youthful tenor standing out in the solos. The act stopped the show, No. 4.
