Ponner Is sandwiched in between a l>race of F&M .'tpecialty acts, and the 'Rhap.sody in Flame' .spectacle th.1t winds up the proceedings. His act is typical of wh.it loc.ils sort of expected It would be. Most of the early portion is built around his 'Wanna buy a duck' gag. which he works with Monk Purcell for good lafTs. All Ptfnner expressions as used over the air were In evidence, plus a comedv handcuff gag worked with Purcell and Dick Ryan that drew plenty of howls. He fools a bit with a violin and winds up 15 mins. of hoke with a droll song, using all the tricks that have rnade him n draw name for the pic houses back east. At 11.500 a day for the three-day stand, booking, looks like a good piece of biz on part of FAM.
