Singing and comic dialogue.
Two colored men, one straight, the other semi-comedy. After some weak comedy, which revolves around the comic's twisting of verb tenses, they each take flings at vocal solos. The
straight has a powerful voice used to good advantage. A couple or three "pomes" on the limerick order, got them nothing. The straight announces he will step out of his character to
give an impersonation of a colored man singing a "coon" song. Went cold. At that they took an encore — albeit somewhat forced. Should do for No. 2 spot on present time.
