In their series of character songs and dances. At the matinee performance this act went only moderately well at the beginning but gradually increased in favor until with the “Devil Dance” as a finale the pair gained a good solid round of applause. The several numbers preceding were greeted with but ordinary favor. The team were so surprised at not getting better that they didn’t know what to make of it, and as a result almost forgot the “Devil Dance” at the matinee. However, I talked with Rock after the first show, offering him encouragement, with the result that the night performance was all right, the act holding the attention all the way through and finishing strong. They will undoubtedly score heavily during the week. Open landscape in 1. Finish special in 4; 30 minutes.
