"Ocean Breezes," written by Mack and Orth, tells of a flip young city chap, who has answered a matrimonial advertisement. The appointment is made for the seashore. The drop resembles Long Beach or Atlantic City. Ronair has a flirtation with a woman he met there, it is resolved with her appearing veiled, as the marriage aspirant. The songs included "The Only Way" as a solo by Ronair, "Wild Waves" and "Feel Like Having Just a Little Bit of Lovin'," both duets.
The songs are catchy, fitting well in the sketch. Ronair is a likable, light comedian, however his work may be a trifle too fast for Miss Ward. She looks well and wears pretty clothes, but needs some playing before she will equal her partner. The dialogue sags a few times. The act will do for the big vaudeville houses in an early spot.
