Herbert Clifton picked up the sagging threads. This man is a strange mixture. He has the voices of a feminine impersonator and of a longshoreman. He hoaks [sic] and he burlesques and he satirizes broadly, yet he wears gowns that are a challenge not only to Julian Eltinge but to Valeska Suratt; at times his work is serious and rises to art. At other times it is low, through never low-down. He got woof laughs on his comedy, perfect concentration on his straight endeavors and a blaze of appreciation at the finish and after the encore – a complete success.
