Singing.
The Dawson Sisters have a pianologist named Stern who does not look unlike Ernie Ball. Mr. Stern plays and sings, with a couple of the numbers getting over quite strongly, though
they have what might be called "blue lines" in the lyrics. They are not seriously "blue," however. The girls sing and dance, and do the most with the only trio number of the act. The
act will do very well early for the small big time, and as well for the best of the small time, although what difference there is between small big time and big small time, no one around
here seems able to find out, which may mean there is no difference and which could also mean that there are as many three-a-day houses on what is known as "big time" as there are big small time, three-a-day theatres.
