Male monologue followed by comedy piano playing. Hebrew dialect used in talk. Plays classical selection followed by finger exercises of a beginner with discords for comedy purposes. A comedy song, “There May Be a Change,” is well delivered. Lambert steps upstage to make an announcement. Male partner interrupts, bawling him out for trying to make a single out of a two act. The latter is Joe Phillips, from burlesque. Lambert introduces him in a comedy speech. Next a duet of burlesque opera, Phillips pulling laughs with a thin exaggerated falsetto voice. A burlesque ventriloquial bit similar to Felix Adler’s, with Phillips as the dummy seated upon Lambert’s knee, with some cross fire and a song hit.
