Singing and comedy.
Here is an act that is going to land on the big time and go right along. It is a turn that has pep and ginger, and both the boy and the girl are capable. The scene is supposedly an artist's studio, and the boy handles the opening, with a little number giving the thread of the plot. It works out nicely, and with the advent of the girl, a rather pretty blonde, things move along with speed. There is cross-fire talk, and then the boy does a bit of eccentric stepping that scores. The girl in the meantime has made a change of costume, after which she sings "Take Off a Little Bit," investing the number with a touch of comedy that, while genteel, lands heavily with the house. At the finish, when she is down to full-length tights of black, with a spangled bodice piece above, she sure is good to look at. Then after another change and an exchange of additional gags there is a singing bit at the finish that scores for them. The act is one that is "there," and it will make good.
