Singing and comedy.
Bobby Heath's Revue is moving much faster than it did at the Fifth Avenue a week or so ago. There is still room for improvement in the comedy department, however. Another bit like the
school-room business which Bobby handles so well in the present formation would, help considerably. The act opens with an introductory song, which is followed, by a series of single and ensemble numbers. Bobby is a clever light comedian, but the Revue's lack of material is holding him back. There are four girls in the act now, all of them willing workers and good lookers. The girls sing very well and help out nicely in the comedy end when called upon. A "sailor" plant in a box pulled down the biggest applause in the, act Tuesday night at the Prospect. While the song plugging thing secured; the desired applause results, it doesn't really belong and if the Heath act expects to go after the larger houses, another and more legitimate finish should be secured. For the smaller houses the present routine and general formation will do very nicely. It's a good flash.
