Dancing.
Orchestra accompaniment.
For the small time the number of people, with the idea, will count. There are ten, including an orchestra of four. The other six are dancers, of the Texas Tommy and ball room style. This turn must have been framed for the small time but may make the small big time in the same spot given it at the Columbia "No. 3." A Texas Tommy finish, with two couples in cowboy rigs, makes a fast finale that, although the "Tommy" thing expired long ago as far as any real stage value remained may still bring forth a last lingering bit of applause for the really swift whirling. A rag orchestra containing a noisy drummer and a dancing violinist do as much for the turn as anything else in it. Other than the orchestra the girls take all the credit for looks and dancing. As a "small time flash" "The Midnight Rollickers" should do, if they and the managers can agree upon price.
