Singing and comic dialogue.
Before a drop representing the front of the Metropolitan opera house Joe Morris and Charles Allen are offering the customary male two-act, one straight with his partner as a Hebrew. The talk is based on their experiences at the opera, after which comic songs and more dialog, some of the latter not especially new, with the "Carmen" gag being the worst offender. An operatic parody tops it off. The "straight" at times is inclined to use a Hebrew dialect which shouldn't be, as the comedian handles enough of that sort. Both are in the same style evening dress, not becoming to a comic and straight two-act. Of the large number of two-acts of this kind Morris and Allen do not stand out prominently.
