Robert Emmett Keane, as a single, immaculately tailored and booking not a day older than he did the first time he raised his voice to Broadway, depended largely on stories of the late war, some of which he has been telling for several seasons and two finishing recitations, each used as an encore. The first was a mild thing about a wounded Scotch returned soldier, better done than it deserved. This got a hand and brought him back for a Kipling “Young British Soldier,” with some liberties taken in some of the lines where Kip is too on the level for “polite” vaudeville. It scored and Keane retired with very decent takings.
