Up to 9:40 the only real hit had been that scored by Walters and Walters, man and woman ventriloquists. They scored in a regular way, the house forcing them back after the lights had gone down and up again, with Mr. Walters having a sensible little speech to hand out. The Walters have a pleasing novelty for an act of its class. It’s uncommon for a double turn in ventriloquism, and especially with one a woman, while there is a boy dummy that rides a bike and the woman leads a “walking” dummy (girl) by the hand. This makes the novelty. Neither of the couple snatches the head off of the respective dummies to allow the audience to see they had not deceived. That’s another ventriloquial novelty. The talk is brief, the singing is done in the childish was as befits kid dummies, and the man, of pleasing appearance, gets hearty laughs when smacking his dummy for breaking in on the other’s song. Miss Walters is personable and of equal help to the turn. It’s a certain No. 2 for the biggest, and can take care of a better spot in the other houses.
