Instrumental music including violin, cello, and pipe organ playing.
Coscia and Verdi are two men with musical instruments, first opening in velveteens and changing to evening clothes. They play violin and cello, the cellist later giving imitations on the instrument of the talking voice, with both doing rather well a pipe organ. While they might better remain in the velveteens, they still seem to hold enough of the vaudeville idea to ramble along in the No. 2 spot, for their music is good and lively, besides the imitations. The last could also be called a pipe. While the couple in their work do not resemble or recall Clark and Verdi, they do the same big of leaving and return when "Bolsheviki" is mentioned, as done by Bernie and Baker. That, however, may be a coincident, as there are so many coincidents in vaudeville. When the booking men run short of Next Summer Festivals, Last Season's Anniversaries and other special programming they might try for a Coincidental Week, with the police called in to hold the mob back that it would be fitted to be placed upon it.
