Drop in one, 2 shows, 21 mins. Two men, singing and talking, billed as ‘The Singer and the Comedian.’ Gardner does the straight work, while Warner works in blackface. Gardner makes an excellent appearance, has a good delivery and a grand voice, and gives the act a tone of refinement. While Warner impersonates the negro character in great shape, and is an [sic] funny as any we have ever had. Their material is all new and the peduliar [sic] delivery of Warner made up as a Wench, which is a scream. The act is one of the laughing hits of the show.
