The headliner, the world’s featherweight champion, was given a hearty welcome when he appeared on stage. Accorded a hearty welcome he made a little speech. At the conclusion of his monologs six floral pieces were passed over the footlights, one a horseshoe ten feet high, the gift of the Ansonia club, and another a huge boxing glove made of flowers, sent by Tom O'Rourke. Nothing daunted, Abe repeated his entrance speech, with the utmost self-complacency.
