Singing.
Five men and a girl. Four of the boys are dancers and do nothing else. The other boy and the young woman are the leaders, opening with a smart little phone number, later, after quartet dancing, doing an old fashioned number in costumes and their other double song is a "shimmy" song about where has Fifi gone with her "cooch" or something like that. There's a lively line in the song some managers may order out and the dance accompanying is made quite broad in some of its movements. The boys as dancers are ordinary, the usual stepping for a group. They change for each dance, first appearing in evening dress and straw hats. The straws do not help their appearance. The six do a hard shoe dance for the finale. Several back drops for full stage. It's a small time act and for small big time. The boy and girl might do as well if not better as a two-act. The remainder of the turn means nothing to them or anyone else.
