Comedic talking with dummy and jokes with audience.
Ray Conlin displayed fine ventriloquial powers. In the running of his act at present there is introduced too much of the talk that would be laughed at by members of the profession, but it leaves most of the audience in the dark. More prominent points in his quips would be a big help to him, for he is clever enough to do a bright patter with his dummy. He might try and drop his affected manner of speech when addressing the dummy.
