“Did you vote?” featuring William E. Morris and Co. (New Acts) preceded Will J. Evans the “happy nobo [sic],” in very Nat Wills get-up and a gag routine that possibly antedates the days of Wills. Evans is wanting for material, but otherwise is a monologist with a pleasing voice that bespeaks possibilities. He is sure-fire on the present time, but a rejuvenated line of talk is advisable. Some of the old boys have been “released” so long they sound almost new, although Evans’ author probably was some minstrel joke book. Evans concludes with a dash of stepping that could be built up, although he suffices as a talker were he fortified with modernized patter.
