His specialty was comedic skits and songs. Perhaps relevant to Loos’s allusion in the context of Blondes, Cantor performed a song in the early 1920s called “The Dumber They Come, The Better I Like ’Em,” performed two minutes into the accompanying early sound film recording of his comedy and music routine.
