This piano act was fifteen minutes long.
Two singers (Billy Devere and Arthur Herman) and a blind pianist (Arthur Stone) do straight and rag numbers. One of the men sings a good “souse” solo. The pianist does a straight solo on the piano.
"You'll Never Know the Good Fellow I've Been"
The audience applauded several times and demanded that they sing an old popular rag number. That guaranteed them an encore.
The act scored big with its popular numbers. The two singers dressed nicely and look well on stage. The act appeals to pretty much any audience, though there is little in it that makes it distinctive.
