2 shows, 20 min, open in 2, close in 1. These men got a round of applause when they appeared but they did not go nearly as strong as on the occasion of their previous engagement. Their new songs are not so ‘catchy’ as those with which they started off a couple of seasons ago, and I think it is largely attributable to the fact that they are aspiring to write a better class of music, something which eventually spoils all ambitious popular songwriters. Notwithstanding, they got a strong ‘hand’ at the finish. Better cut them down to a single week and once per year after this.
