"Telephony Phony."
It's a few years since this popular musical comedy couple have been seen in vaudeville, having spent the intermediate time starring in musical successes. For their return they retain a few of their former vaudeville numbers, adding a few new ones as well. The most familiar ditty of the routine is the "Telephony Phony" number now closing the specialty. The couple open with a double patter number which sends them off to a flying start. A song with a miniature set showing the outboard side of a ship gathers laughs, is well timed and cleverly handled. Miss Mayfield makes a stunning appearance and has a fund of personality. Mr. Lean is himself as ever, a good performer always. The couple can always bank on their popularity, but give a regular act with all of that.
