Singing, some talking to the audience. Impressions.
As a vaudeville act Keane and Window might as well be a single, if Keane could build up a turn strong enough in these days to stand alone. He is practically doing a single at present with Miss Window's only important aid taking the other end in a one-worded bit at the finish. Both had sung solos previously and Keane told three stories on the English, besides giving an "imitation" of "Harry Ford, the English comedian," singing "How Dare You?" as a song with exactly the same melody as one of the first English numbers Daisy Harcourt used over here. Later the couple did "Tennessee, I Hear You Calling Me." For a model on how not to sing a ballad, their rendition of it could hardly be surpassed. The turn may do well. It did nicely at the Royal Monday night, when nothing on the bill fell down. The turn is badly in need of numbers. Miss Window is trying to sing a lyric set to the air of a Maxixe.
