Appearing first in a colored long coat and hat, the boys afterward change to light suits.
While they are engaged in a number, one concludes how well a colored light would look upon them, and lo! the next moment, the light is there, which shows that the trio have studied the best effects.
Popular songs are sung (with no comedy), but none of the many much-hammered variety, as for example they sing "Harrigan." Seldom has an act played New York for the first time showing Mich good judgment in the handling of their offering. Resides the singing, string instruments are played, the trio being their own accompanists, subduing the music and volume to obtain the best results. They sing just enough of each selection to make the audience ask for more. In this way, they are giving more songs in eleven minutes than a great majority of singing trios and quartets are doing in double the time
It's different from the rest, and the music is of merit, both the vocal and instrumental. They might try a change from the vanilla- shaded suits to another color which would perhaps help the appearance, and when they are through with this season of burlesque, Vardon, Perry and Wilber ought to go into vaudeville—and stay there.
