Impersonation of Joe Jackson.
Sam Barton has nerve, or something that resembles it very much. In the orchestra there were many who mentioned Joe Jackson while this tramp comedian was doing his turn. Outside of the nerve, Barton has a wonderful memory, for he has not forgotten one thing Jackson did. It is not to be accepted, however, that Barton gives a good imitation of Jackson, for he fails miserably in trying to do so.
