[New Act] Straight Singing Operatic, 14 mins; full stage. A straight singing combination of four males and three females with trained voices. One is a pianist. All are garbed in Colonial costumes. The repertoire consists of a succession of ensemble and duet vocal numbers, all operatic or classical. The harmony is excellent and the act held nearly three quarters of the house in the “before intermission” spot. The straightness of the turn will keep it in the smaller houses, however, for big time vaudeville audiences shy away from the non-comedy singing turns. It’s a great combination for lovers of classical harmony.
