Two dummies in clown make-ups are used, one dressed in red and the other in blue satin, presumably to brightens things up.
The principal charm of his specialty is its briefness. He brings nothing new in ventriloquialism, but rather clothes old methods anew.
A mechanical effect lamely represents dancing for the first figure introduced. By far the best results are obtained through singing and the finish is strong, compared with the rest of the act, when the two figures sing by taking up alternating lines.
The performer has a fair stage presence and puts across an act which might please almost anywhere, if not too far down on a heavy bill.
