Armstrong and Downey opened and pulled out with a good average of laughs and applause for the spot. Mr. Downey affects a make-up almost identical with Joe Jackson, riding and attempting to ride a bicycle in the same comedy was that Jackson does. There is some business Downey has with a pair of falling trousers, however, that Jackson doesn’t do. That’s about the only original thing in the Downey routine, and it’s altogether too strong for vaudeville.
