The men easily cleaned up the bill's hit and are of very neat appearance in evening dress. Theirs is a routine that successfully dodges the usual, yet holds enough in popular songs and the men can attain a nice harmony. Best results in that department came with their idea of four southern darkies singing the "Memphis Blues," done without accompanying music. That was the number which landed most firmly. The comedy bits helped considerably.
