This team appeared in vaudeville several years ago but have been absent in a production, whither some wise manager probably withdrew them. Theirs is a fast neat dancing act worthy of a spot on the big bills. With the red plush hangings the turn opens with a song anent wanting a dancing partner, the inference being that the same is the pianist used throughout. But the man appears from the wings at the conclusion of the song and they go into a dance which put an immediate stamp on the work through the graceful evolutions and rapid swings. The man goes into a solo dance which includes an assortment of difficult steps including some of the Russian "bearcats." This is followed by the girl who shows something on her toes. For a finish they display speed spinning. The pianist has a number alone during a costume change, rather risky for the closing position. Yet the pair held the house until the finish.
