"Snobs."
The wisest thing the Marmein Sisters did for their new act was to engage Dave Schooler, who isn't given equal billing, but deserves it. As a vaudeville pianist Mr. Schooler seems to be getting better all the time. He leans to the classical, but doesn't bar other tunes. The Marmein girls have a very good dancing routine. It looks better than the former act in color, stage dress and the dances. Opening is an Egyptian dance given by one sister after an announcement by the other. Schooler then shows with the first of three numbers by him, the others also following dance numbers by the girls. His first bit was a "melody trip," being an imitation of Paderewski. Into "one" before the only painted drop the sisters do a "toy" dance very neatly performed partly on the toes. Back in full stage Schooler offers a medley of Broadway bits and accompanies the sisters when they appear for a number called "Snobs." It's a pleasing turn combing good music with dancing.
