(36 mins.) This remarkable artist had not finished his first song before he was a recognized hit for us and before the finish of his first number he had the audience with him without any question. He did two characters, “The Scrubwoman” and “The Hight Watchman”, scoring with each, getting his full share of applause and finishing strong. There is no question about his being an artistic hit that will be recognized anywhere as it was here.
