"Overland," "Monterey" and "Araby."
A boy and girl offering that will easily do for one of the early spots on the big time and will surely clean up on the small time. The girl's appearance alone is justification for this prediction. Ida Clemens isn't any bigger than a minute and she makes a mighty cute stage appearance and withal displays a voice that is a surprise coming from one of her size. It is of prima donna quality and she uses it to great advantage in two numbers. The opening with the little automobile in which the "Overland" number is done starts the act very well. Immediately after Miss Clemens sings "Monterey," which brings applause. A song and eccentric dance by the boy follows. For a closing number "Araby" is used with the boy and girl in Arabian costume. This makes a pretty picture finish and with the girl's voice the number is one of unusual strength for the act. What is needed for the turn is a little speeding of the talk at the opening and the boy will make a better impression with another style of dressing. He is rather too large to effect an Eaton suit.
