By way of contrast there were Ed and Bertie Conrad, with an ultra-modern jazz singing and dancing turn, backed up with a stage full of satin drapes, colored “spots” and special song material. It made a real class turn, the production values being more noticeable through following the roughhouse quartet. Mr. Conrad cheapens his act, however, by resorting to mugging for comedy. It might be a good idea, too, to settle down to whatever dialect he is going to use and go to it. Monday night he seemed uncertain whether he was doing straight, Hebraic comic or darkey. The double numbers are especially well written and out over skillfully. The orchestrations are worthy of comment. Miss Conrad showed several pretty costumes and counted largely in the all around good impression registered.
