An excerpt from Jimmy O'Dea's pantomime.
Every Irishman knows Ireland's No. 1 comedian, Jimmy O'Dea (pronounced O'Dee), and many will have heard his part in the special St. Patrick's Day programme on Monday.
In private life Jimmy is small, round-faced, and curly-haired, with extremely large, bright eyes that twinkle with merriment one minute while he turns a cartwheel for you, and grow serious the next minute while he discusses the relative worth of Galsworthy as a propagandist and playwright. On the stage Jimmy is gnome-like, mischievous and agile. But all the time he has that gift, possessed by only a few comic geniuses such as Chaplin, of changing your laughter to a lump in the throat with the slightest gesture or grimace.
