The article, with the brief introduction of forms of entertainment, focuses on Jim Barton, the most humorous dancer. Within the month he had been lifted from his role as chief hoofer on a burlesque circuit. And before he had a chance to appear in the production for which he was under contract he found himself a striker. Moreover, at this first volunteer appearance he was offered as a substitute for some great star who had been unable to put in an appearance. There was a gasp of disappointment as the unknown recruit was thrust out to fill the gap. But without any preliminary song or anecdote Barton began to dance, and the walls came tumbling down.
