COMEDIAN FINED.
Improper Patter on the Stage. LONDON. March 2. Tex M’Leod, the rope-swinging comedian, was lined £5 at Liverpool for using improper language on the stage. The magistrate held that the jokes concerning Hitler and his followers, Mae West and the Invisible Man, the wedding in the nudist colony and the honeymoon couple, offended the recognised standards of public morality. M’Leod, w-ho denied indecency, said j the gags were mild in comparison with some he had heard in London. Australians visiting London object j to one of M’Leod’s stock jokes: “ One : good thing about Australia is that j plenty of boats leave there.”
