"Irish Rose," "The Navy's All Right," and "You Got to Put Up With It."
Ubert Carleton's special song writer has provided him with a couple of catchy, clever, sure fire numbers, together with several good gags which form the nucleus of the turn. Opening with "Irish Rose" offstage, he wins one laugh on appearing in blackface in sailor attire. Then his chatter, all centred around the Navy, came in for approval, not forgetting the time-honored cracks at Hoboken. "The Navy's All Right" is a clever number in which the singer explains that since he joined the bluejackets "yesterday,", the Navy of today's all right. After each gag, Carleton has habit of smoking fiercely on a black cigar, throwing out a young smoke screen. He concluded with "You Got to. Put Up With It," a catchy song on the topical order, which sent him off well. Tuesday night he stopped the show. He did not appear ready with encore material. Good feature on the present time.
