Baker did a lot of ad libbing with Benny Roberts. Everything he tried landed solidly. He has a new trick of repeating any gag the gang muffs and works it up for laughs. The plant in the box helps out at the finish, but Baker can dispense with him at any time, for he is in safety before the “stooge” butts in. He followed Fay Marbe and got a laugh on his entrance by pulling a few cracks about Miss Marbe’s physical assets, following it up with the remark, “It looks like a good week.”
