Minstrel Show.
20 Mins.’; Two.
Regulation minstrel show with a circle containing four girls, a male interlocutor and two end men. A harmonized chorus of a pop song by the company before the drop rises. Then the usual opening “walk around.” “Somebody’s Waiting for Someone” soloed by Cora Neil son, a little girl with a particularly sweet voice, landed. The chorus harmony in the encore was very ragged, someone with a bass voice singing off key. A nicely harmonized double “Where the Morning Glories Grow” by Janet Sisters brought substantial returns. Both end men have a number and each a few minutes of gagging. The best specialty is toe dancing by.
