Both the girls are extremely pretty and the dressing is in keeping with their looks.
The pair do nicely with a little song and dance and carry the act through.
The sketch is of very frail structure, the pretty idea embodied in it being almost entirely lost at Pastor's this week. Pearl Roberts and Charlotte Tomkins as Katie and Nellie Allen, two mischievous young ones, figure most. They play jokes on the old doll maker, taking advantage of his near- sightedness. The smaller of the two impersonates a mechanical doll, a recent invention of the German's, while the other does a Spanish girl, to whom it is to be delivered.- There is a quiet finish with the old German dosing off while the two children sing to him.
They were in an extremely difficult position, following as they did upon several more or less similar acts, but they acquitted themselves with credit even under that handicap. Experience will teach them a smoother and more lively stage bearing.
