Monologue stories and violin playing.
The going was quite ordinary up until the time Harry Cooper lent a personal touch to things in fourth position. One or two of Cooper's stories have been used often enough for him to seek new ones. But when Harry got down to the fiddle bit, be bit his stride. Minding his monkey with one of Dan Bruno's violins took many a male in the house back to the days when sawing the catgut with a horsehair bow was a dally penance. And Harry played just as if he had gotten so far with the boyhood lessons and no farther. Those same lessons have come in bandy now for comedy purposes. Harry wasn't any riot, but they liked him.
