Bob Cole and Rosamond Johnson

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 20 min, open in 2, close in 1. These men received a great reception and all their songs were encored. At the finish they were obliged to come forward and bow their acknowledgement at least a half dozen times. Their opening dialogue was not changed one word from what they have always used in the past, and Johnson’s piano selection was the same Paderewski minuet he has always played. Cole’s opening songs were new, but the real hits were scored by their old ballads.
