A naval lieutenant and a supposedly Spanish maid cross-firing with songs allowed the pair to render four selections with the final number being that of the woman adhering to the classics, while her partner breaks in to jazz it up. The crowd out front were decidedly in favor of the “lieut” with his “pop” melodies. The conversation merely forms a series of excuses to allow an entrance into a lyric. What comedy is tried for, along that line is shy on quality. The pair might have done better as a straight singing duo in “one,” minus the talk and without the special “set.”
