Burns and Lynn were one of the bill's hits with their dancing, although before crediting the pair with their results one might question the originality of the feature "bit." Joe Whitehead introduced the novelty of calling upon the audience for various dances with plants rehearsed on comedy titles, although it is barely possible Burns and Lynn originated it. One or the other should assert prior ownership to avoid future misunderstandings. At any rate Burns and Lynn have perfected the idea into standard applause-winner and it marks the total value of the specialty. On this portion alone they earned applause sufficient to encourage a better position.
