Comic dialogue.
With the preliminary work perfecting the rough edges, this new turn will qualify for the big time without a challenge. Tom McGuire, tall, carefully clad and masculinely handsome, makes an ideal "straight" for the equally capable Anthony who specializes in a "wop" characterization, the pair running through a quarter-hour routine of bright dialogue, strengthened through the presence of some appropriate and well handled "business." The semi-gags are as a rule distinctly original, although the prior ownership of the "Tony Chestnut" line should be established if retained. A song from McGuire introduces the finale dance by the character man and closes a period of good, clean entertainment. Measured up with the present-day crop of "doubles." Anthony and McGuire are there in every particular.
