William Gould sang for
nineteen minutes, with a few moments of
talk interspersed.
The
opening was a song, "I Wonder," with Mr.
Gould semi-reciting it from a nonchalant
position against the proscenium arch. This
was followed by a brand new ditty, well
written and catchy about Dr. Cook and
Peary. "Dad's Philosophy" and a new pretty sort of ballad,
"When the Bloom is on the Heather" made
up the remainder of Mr. Gould's first single
specialty.
A couple of Mr. Gould's
selections were lively in a spicy way and
were much enjoyed, the audience laughing
heartily at "Nobody is Satisfied" with its
buried humorous points.
