Comic singing and talking, piano playing.
Harry Tighe and Babette form a likable combination of the light comedy and singing kind. They open with talk in "one," Babette sings in "three" while Mr. Tighe plays the piano, and they then duet in "one," using a well worded travesty on grand operatic melodies, with a couple of kicks in the way of comedy lines. Babette has a slow number for herself. The opening and closing bring laughs, with the middle division drawing applause. Babette is angular and some fun is made of this. Tighe does his usual kidding. Opening after intermission at the Palace Monday night and just before Calve wasn't a spot they would have chosen themselves, especially with the operatic thing, but they did real well.
