2 shows, 28 min. open full stage, close in 1. This act was a decided disappointment and will have to be moved well up the bill. It is too talky and lacks action, which is the principal reason for its failure with today’s audience. Both Rado and Bertman, and Mr. and Mrs. Allison can go down below the bill and make good. Their dialogue is bright enough, but it had been preceded by so much show that people were not prepared to sit and listen to it for half an hour. It is one of the sort of acts, strange to say, that are not good for a better place than the 3-turn section in Boston.
