23 minutes. Open in library f.s. with 5 minutes close in one. Olio. This is a big musical act, six people and 22 pieces of baggage, with a little sketch built around it. Scene represents a lawyer’s office, the chimes, pipe organ and other instruments being disguised as desks, filling cases, etc. A good line of comedy in introduced by a bogus German nobleman, all the people working in evening dress. The act has the additional charm of novelty, and is out of the beaten track of musical acts. Their numbers were all applauded, and they closed strong with the xylophone medley in one.
