Gordon's Speech Hit
Cliff Gordon makes political speech
| that Is a scream. His subjects include
pretty much everything from the dis
covery of America by Columbus to it's
subjugation by the trusts, with lib
eral look into the future. Regarding
| Columbus, the German senator says:
"Izzy, queen of spades, gave him a few
schooners and he discovered America,
though when he first mentioned it
| everybody gave him the ha-ha. Look
| at the difference. Give man n few
schooners today and he'll discover
station house. Gordon uses a German
dialect which is just broad enough to
add to the fun, and the fun is there in
large quantities. Moreover, he knows
to nicely just how to get it over

numerous musical instruments musi-
cally; and Marie Florence sings several
pretentious songs, among them the
Sec How 1t Sparkles" from "Girohe
Giroha." Miss Florence is billed as 1.-The
American Sembrich," perhaps by way
of reminder that the legend made in
Germany" is not so bad thing after
| all.
