“Moonbeams”
A girl of anywhere from 12 to 18 opens the act in “one” before a special drop upon which there is a large moon. The girl dances and then recites a prologue. The moon opens up and a second girl comes forth and does a song with scenic effects in the opening in the drop. This routine is repeated for four other numbers. The act is very quiet, at no time does it get moving, each number is so much like the others in tempo that it might all be the same. An effort has been made to put over novelty numbers in a little different manner. The effort is praise-worthy. One or two of the ideas are rather neat, but the act as a whole has neither the go nor the punch to put it over.
