Ash and Shaw

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Ethnic comedy the basis, a “dope” and a Jewish shopkeeper make up the characters. Chinatown set.
Singing parodies and talking.
The "dope" goes through the usual talk with his partner, bringing some good laughs. The house drop is lowered after this and they appear in evening dress, the Hebrew comedian in a semi-comedy suit. The straight uses a number of songs, his partner doing parodies on them. The parodies hold up turn. Rest is too familiar.
