There is no use talking, from the standpoint of their salary, this is an awfully bad act. It would be a bad act at half the salary. There is some good brass instrument playing, but this, after a while, grows tiresome, being so much repetition of the same thing. The tenor singer is simply impossible even though he does come from this vicinity. The act fell with a dull thud. No one asked them to come back after they had finished. 24 min. open n 2, 2 or 3 min. closing in one, 2 shows.
