The act was sixteen minutes long.
A man and a woman sing, dance, and do some comedic talk. They open with cross-fire material, in which the man acts as a feeder for the woman. He exits and she sings a solo. When she does not get a reaction out of the crowd on the first verse, she yells “Can’t you hear me?” and sings the second verse much more loudly. The man does a pantomime bit in which he pretends to search for a bird. He then does some eccentric dancing. The woman wears an unsightly brown suit and proceeds to take the jacket off to reveal a white shirtwaist underneath.
"With His Little Cane and Satchel in His Hand"
The best part of the act was the eccentric dancing by the man. "They were scarcely strong enough to open the intermission at the American, but should make an acceptable number in an earlier position."
