Boyle and Brazil are spoiling a neat dancing turn on a "hand dance" or whatever it is, upon a wooden table top. Did these boys ever see Joe Barrett use the coconuts for a horse galloping in "The Battle of Too Soon?" And of course they don't remember the small time team, in which one partner walked down to the footlights, saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, my partner will now do his dance upon an iron mat. He is the only one in the world doing it." It must have been correct, for even he isn't doing it now upon the stage. That "hand dance" is not for big time, although Boyle and Brazil otherwise fit.
