This clown and pantomime act called “Just Phor-Phun” was eighteen minutes long on the full stage and closed the show. The brothers do “double work” in front of a mirror, not to be confused with the Schwartz Brother’s “broken mirror” trick. One of the four Hanlons plays a hotel keeper and is the straight man for the group. This is their first showing in vaudeville.
The brothers are good pantomimists and execute the mirror act better than anyone else in America.
