Comic dialogue and adlibbing.
Toney and Norman were next to closing in the batting order and finished like a couple of Ty Cobbs. Jim Toney must have felt like working, for he ad libbed all through and even had the musicians laughing. Miss Norman is the direct antithesis to Toney and a wonderful foil, accentuating his comedy efforts. The Fifth Ave. gang tittered at Jim's voice, laughed at his mannerisms and howled at his comedy legs. The gallery demanded the knock-kneed dance and crap shooting bit.
