The “straight” man wears a brown sack suit while the comedian is in blackface without any eccentric attire. The stage paraphernalia is modest, but also neat and pleasing, never bordering on the sensational is peculiar and unaccountably pleasing.
Very little of the juggling offering is new, yet it is performed quickly. The 11 minutes of rapid ball and club juggling is interspersed with comedy.
For better comedy effect, either the "straight" should become semi-eccentric to assist his partner, or the comedian should not work in blackface.
