Comic dialogue and singing.
So the automobile explodes and breaks in the center and out rushes a little white pig and the comedian feeds the little white pig some milk out of a little white bottle, and the house screams. This is the hectic and inexplicable finale of the hectic and inexplicable act of Arthur Levine and Co. It opens with no rhyme nor reason in full before a Coney Island drop and closes with no explanation and apology before a North Pole drop. In the interim the two comedians make the trip from Coney Island in a comedy aeroplane, while the girl sings from a prop parachute. The good looking boy comes out and sings a couple of songs in a nice voice, and puts on a couple of sailor uniforms for heaven only known why. The trick auto is rung in for a surprise finish, and it is a surprise. The pig at the curtain is an inspiration, and hogs the act, The act is an old-timer. It has always gotten by nicely, as it did on this occasion. But the pig is new
