"She's Just a Blue-Eyed Blondie-Haired Heart-Breaking Baby," "Liza Hane," and ""When Ireland Comes Into Her Own."
This couple were but recently married, Beatrice O'Neil having been of the O'Neil Sisters. The new duo looks good, having a routine of popular numbers, but delivered along their own lines with the girl's chic pleasing style and appearance standing out. They open with "For Johnny and Me," following with another duet "Liza Hane." Miss O'Neil then appears alone in a nifty little frock to offer "She's Just a Blue-Eyed Blondie-Haired Heart-Breaking Baby," going into a dainty dance. Miss O'Neil's stepping is important enough for a bit more of it if possible. Ryan did nicely alone with "When Ireland Comes Into Her Own," which gave Miss O'Neil a chance to slip on an overseas Salvation Army costume for the succeeding number. She changed back to the pretty little dress and together they offered several earned encores, going for a hit. This team is sure on the smaller bills and shows promise of going higher.
