3 shows, 19 min, open in full stage, close in 1. This team was made up of a man, working as a ‘rube’ and, woman, working straight and the little girl, who does some character work and dances fairly well. To my mind, it is a good deal of a ‘shine’ act, as none of them are good entertainers, even from a 3-per-day standpoint. If the juvenile was not in it, the older people would be considered at all, and there is too much of that sort of thing vaudeville now. Cut out a nasty invitation from the man to the woman to ‘see him wipe his feet after washing them at home,’ and also reference in a letter from his son coupling Divine Providence with the name of a student, both of which he claimed were passed in New York.
