Her opening song la “Has Anybody Seen Jonah Brown,” an exclusive comedy idea that fits her nicely, and allows for the Mayhew negro dialect… Taylor deserts the piano for “Laddy Buck of Mine,” a pretty Irish ballad with a lilting melody delivered in pleasing baritone. Miss Mayhew returns for a double with Taylor, “Modern Cinderella,” a sterling lyric depicting the modern version of the old story of the Princess, delivered In modern “hick” with plenty of wise cracks interspersed. Some dialog crossfire on domestic topics, in which Mayhew and Taylor kid each other for laughs, didn’t register strongly, despite the excellence of the material.
