Beatie and Babs

Location:
Theater:
Date:
The act as fourteen minutes long. Beatie and Babs are two young English girls making their first American appearance. The younger and smaller girl impersonates an English “Dame” in costume and makeup and sings. The other taller girl is a good tap dancer. She does one straight tap and after a costume change does a “top boot dance”.
The songs were too drawn out and the opening is too slow. The girls did well enough, but did not make enough of an impression to become popular in American vaudeville.
