"Everyone Wants a Key to My Cellar" and "Nobody."
Bert Williams followed, he having been switched from next to closing at the matinee, probably insisting on the earlier spot, and that sent Herbert Clifton into the difficult position. Williams earned a hit. He had one or two new stories; that one about his friend who became a lion tamer and started out by tying all the lions to a tree while he washed out their cages, getting the biggest laugh. Williams' song routine is but slightly changed, a new number being "Everyone Wants a Key to My Cellar." He encored with "Nobody," stating it was by request.
