Chinatown set, three attractive young women play Egyptian beauties.
Dialog driven comedic skits and singing
"Dreamland" and "Chinatown."
Outpourings of a "hop head" is heard in the first section and brings laughs on its own, as the very wildness of it is funny.
In the full set Mr. Shayne gets his best opportunity for comedy and makes full use of it. He also sings, with Mr. Matthews, who earlier warbled alone. Equal comedy strength in the turn to Mr. Al Shayne's fun-making is the extravagant dialog written by Mr. Matthews to describe the fantastic "Dreamland." Mr. Matthews takes the dope character as well as ever. In "Dreamland" he has a distinctive vaudeville turn, the only one of its kind, and; besides, well worth while as an act or a comedy number.
