Chinquilla and Newell

Location:
Theater:
Date:
This is an Indian woman and her partner, a man. The man opens the act with a few tricks of juggling. The woman comes on then dressed in full Indian style and sings an Indian song in English and in the Indian language; then a character song supposed to be sung by the Indians prior to going upon the warpath, and they close with some fairly good work on a couple of banjos. The costume of the woman, and the fact that she is an Indian makes the act somewhat of a novelty, and it is a very acceptable offering. 15 minutes, open in full stage; could close in one if necessary.
