"Say It Again," 'Ching Loo's Got the Chinese Blues," "Sleepy Head," "Everybody Wants a Key to My Cellar," "Here Comes the Bride," and "Won't You Forgive?"
Right after intermission George Whiting and Sadie Burt mopped up. Recently it was all
cut and dried that George was going to "gate" the footlights and go agentlng. Seems somehow George got himself and book, Invaded the regions where vaudeville Is routed, turned around and walked right on out. Maybe that meant the loss of a good follow among agentry, but it sure did save one of the most universally liked duos In vaudeville. Whiting and Burt when right, and they are almost always right, are a class to themselves and set their ,own pace. They are right, now. Almost all of their numbers are new, and they offered seven, sticking around tor some 27 minutes with no effort at all. After the opening, "Say It Again," was a comedy Chinese song with many funny lines. It may be called "Ching Loo's Got the Chinese Blues," and there is a special cutie line for Miss Burt, it being "my sweetie is a big Chinaman." She followed with "Sleepy Head," and Whiting then gave "Everybody Wants a Key to My Cellar." A majority of the numbers are exclusive style. Final was "Here Comes the Bride," and the encore was "Won't You Forgive?" from a former routine. Miss Burt, as usual, dressed delightfully.
