Colored straight and comic, the latter blacked up and both dressed as Red Cap ‘Porters.” They open “quarrelling” with exaggerated threats bandied back and forth. Then seated on suit, cases a double song “I’m Goin’ Down Home” well rendered as to harmony. Next a solo by the comic “Prohibition Blues,” followed by “Life Is a Game of Checkers,” sung by straight man with both seated at a checker board.’ The comedy here consists of the efforts of the comic to cheat his partner and this phase of it though funny at first, is overdone. “What A Time” a comedy limerick double, which contains some ancient themes, got them big returns practically stopping the show. They are a good small time comedy combination and should keep busy ‘in. the popular priced houses.
