COMEDIAN FINED.
IMPROPER PATTER. Tex McLeod, the _ rope-spinning comedian, was fined £5 at Liverpool for using improper language on the stage. The Magistrate held that the jokes concerning Hitler and his followers, Mae AVest and the Invisible Alan, the wedding in the nudist colony and the honeymoon couple, offended the recognised standards of public morality. McLeod, who denied indecency, said the gags were mild in comparison with some he had heard in London. Australians visiting London object to one of McLeod’s stock jokes: “One good thing about Australia is that plenty of boats leave there.”
