Bernard and Duffy

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Singing and piano playing.
A two-man turn of the type formerly classed as rathskeller acts; both prominent entertainers in their line, and combining to make up about as good a song and dance specialty as vaudeville carries. Duffy (formerly Duffy, Giesler and Lewis) does the singing, with Bernard at the piano. The repertoire is all of a comedy nature, the best being a "Frenchy" song that is nicely handled by Duffy. He is a lively chap, strictly a jazz singer and a very capable dancer. Bernard is likewise good in this, his solo dance at the finale cornering a nifty hit. They were placed in second spot, but really belong farther down on a big-time program, for they have an act that will give the best an interesting chase for honors.
