"Tid-Bits."
Mabel Darrel and Jack Edwards have a comedy skit in the form of song and dance entitled "Tid-Bits." Miss Darrel resembles Charlotte Greenwood at the opening, and, with Edwards, sings a song. Edwards does an eccentric solo dance, using a book and large horn-rimmed spectacles, as done by Lew Brice. The dance shows Edwards to be a versatile stepper. Miss Darrel returns, and sings a "nut" song, to which she adds awkward gestures and dance steps. Several gags, with Edwards taking the slap in the face to emphasize each point. Here it is a little rough. A double song and dance at the finish permits Edwards to do some acrobatic work, and Miss Darrel does a little stepping. The act is fast moving, and went big. A little toning down of the slapping stuff and other little rough spots should make this turn sure fire.
