Female impersonation with singing.
His personality is a pleasing one and he scored a very healthy applause hit.
With an attractive special drop and a pianist, a young man offers a couple of southern melodies in female costume, with just a suggestion of stepping, rather completely fooling the
audience until he removes his wig, then changes to a Tuxedo suit and sings a ballad with a good baritone voice. On Monday evening the illusion would have been well nigh perfect had he not, probably through nervousness, started off with falsetto tones before falling into a rather rich mezzo.
