Singing and dialogue.
Second were Chapelle and Stinette, colored duo, with talk and songs. The man may have been born in one of the Carolinas, for he sure plugs that section of the country, with the first two successive songs featuring the name. He has a rather good baritone, but spoils everything by doing vocal tricks and drawing out his numbers interminably. The girl's singing, because straight, is much better and really the life saver. The opening talk has been changed, but is hardly an improvement, for as with many colored acts the patter is a collection of threats of bodily injury from one to the other. The girl's answering line, "I wish you would," grew quite funny.
