Comic dialogue.
Jim and Marian Harklna came like a breath of springtime. Jim is a great fellow on the stage, getting very close to his friends in the seats, and Marian is so wholesomely pretty and sisterlike that any man or woman who doesn't warm to her isn't normal. Jim said plenty about Edith Clifford. What a relief he is to one who has seen Al Herman try the same thing. Harkins has clean, fast, human, satirical, painless wit— he doesn't need what burlesquers call "ginger." The pair closed to a wallop.
