Comic dialogue based on female impersonation.
Francis Yates and Gus Reed fared nicely third. The idea of female impersonation at the start by Yates at least gives the turn a good start and it furnishes a laugh for the finish. That comes when a rather large blonde girl walks across the stage. She "throws out the hooks" for Reed, and his partner eggs him on, saying that he has a flirtation. Reed answers, "Not on your life; she may be your brother." Reed scored strongly with a bass number earlier in the routine.
