[New acts] Comedy Girl Act, 24 mins; one. The comedy of the turn is based on the extreme fatness of one member and the comparative slimness of the other. The fat woman makes her appearance calling in a loud voice for “Looie.” A quarrel ensues with the slim girl doing a soubret number on the stage. The fat girl avers she can do better, and after much amusing give and take repartee goes upon the stage. More comedy develops in the talk. And while the fat girl performs on the piano the slim one makes a change to extremely short skirts. She holds the audience while the fat one changes to an ordinary street dress with a slit in the skirt which shows a calf that wouldn’t fit the subway. A final dance together gets them off more talk and a piano number. A turn of fair small time value.
