10 Mins.; Fall Stage (Special Drop).
Three men and two women in native costume open in full stage grouped around a table. A drop is the exterior of a cabin with the Alps in the background. A double-necked banjo and a native stringed instrument are played by the men. A girl introduces one of the males as a medal winner of a Neuf Chatel yodeling contest A couple of ensemble vocal numbers and folk songs and a native dance done by the younger male and the two girls complete the offering. The ensemble vocalizing was off key, one or two of the male voices sounding flat. There isn’t a big voice among the five and the act is only mildly entertaining.
