Songs and some musical comedy.
The slenderer of the two misses makes quite a try for light comedy effect, successful in a measure but not her forte apparently, as best exemplified by the instantaneous results obtained when using the more serious-minded numbers, her ballad capability being most pronounced in this respect. The girls have gone in for a sort of "corner" on songs about "smiles." Their precocious appearance, the bows in the hair and the childish simplicity outwardly manifest throughout is in their favor; their songs are within comprehension of the pop houses, and subsequently their favoritism is bound to grow.
