"Tennessee, I Hear You Calling Me."
They are using their former motor boat travesty in "two" with some comedy by-play about Smith's fishing from the stern. The pair is using rigamarole most of the time when not indulging in eccentric and acrobatic dancing with monkeyshines with dummies. There's a young woman in the act, who sings "Tennessee, I Hear You Calling Me," while Smith and Austin change duds for the next number. The woman sings sweetly and the Colonial boys gave her much applause. A very funny bit of business is the conversational song with the female dummies by Tom and Ralph. This was surefire. Smith and Austin are corking good dancers and one number they did with the acrobatics put them in big favor. The act closes with the men and the woman doing a song and dance followed by some of Austin's proverbial "encore" stuff.
