Robert Emmett Keane was a genuine hit, closing his list of stories with Kiplin's "Gunga Din" (by request, according to Keane). While Keane's reading of the affair was in every respect excellent, "Gunga Din" has been sadly overdone. His service recitation was at least partially new to many, although still a recitation. Keane was a hit and deserves a clear title to same.
