Singing and stories.
Frank Mullane came No. 2, with Irish and Yiddish stories and songs, getting all he could out of the spot. Mr. Mullane is singing the "Wild Women" song that has the lines about girls being hard to win without the liquor in them, and asking as a final line how girls, when they can not drink, may be expected "to listen to reason." It's a broad lyric and rather surprising regular vaudeville will stand for it. Maybe regular vaudeville is out for the money nowadays in preference to everything else. If that be so what a pity it was to pan Hammerstein in the good old days for what that house stood for.
