Chris Smith & the Two Johnson’s

Location:
Date:
Colored. Two men and a woman, in their comedy, singing, talking dancing. Smith was formally with Smith and Bowman, the Johnsons are late of the ‘Smart Set.’ The set is singing number, with very little talking or dancing. Singing being the strong hold and each of their selections were encored at every performance. They work quick and are a little above the average act of this kind. They made a strong play for two shows, but the act is only for the three a day class, although a good one. Would say about one hundred and three shows. Seventeen minutes, close in one five minutes.
