Ben Meroff is a son of Luba Meroff and was formerly of her act. He is “singling,” assisted by a pianist, violinist and a “plant” in the orchestra. The act opens with the pianist going to the box while Meroff in tuxedo sings an introductory song anent what he is going to do. This is followed by an imitation of Ted Lewis Jazzing on the clarinet; with a Jazz dance following and Lewis’ disreputable top hat for atmosphere. Next a cello solo preceded by a “request,” with the “plant” calling for “Somewhere a Voice Is Calling.”
