15 min. – Open in one – close with full stage – Open in one with Pierre Young rendering “Neath the Shades of the Sheltering Palms”; then went to full stage where Boneville and Griffiths offer the “5 A.M.” duet. Both songs were well received. As has been said in Boston, the girls’ voices are very weak; they lack both volume and tone. If the men’s voices were no better than the girls’, the act would be a “frost.” The girls are very pretty, but beauty will not carry an act of this kind. The act was well received and liberally applauded, responding to three encores.
