[New act] Musical and talk, 14 mins; full (Special). A musical team that has gone in for a sketch setting so as to be different. The drop represents a country bungalow with the woman playing the piano visible through the window. The husband appears he looks like a “light-heavy” who is dressed up in his Sunday best after a siege of road work. He handles the lines for a cross-fire at the opening of the act. There is some comedy with a prop viola and a flute and then a cornet is brought forward for the man to play. After this the woman joins in with a French horn and the two duet for the final number. It is an acceptable small time.
