Well appearing woman does straight with dwarf providing comedy falls and knockabout for laughs. Excellent number for opening, but scarcely a satisfactory turn further along in the show as it was placed at the American. Pair have a good opening, the dwarf being concealed behind the newspaper he is reading and making his appearance as a surprise. The combination of the rather tall woman and the miniature partner —he Is well under four feet—gives opportunity for odd maneuvers in their duet skating. Woman dresses neatly in black and white frock of soubret length and is graceful on the rollers. For a finish the dwarf take* an apparatus in his teeth and with that hold is whirled around by the woman, an acrobatic performance which gets them satisfactory exit applause.
