Deane and Silby

The act opens in a dressing room. The man is waiting to go on but his partner has failed to show. The latter's sister arrives "like a gentle zephyr from the Bowery." She says that she knows the act backwards. She sang "Under the Yum Yum Tree." The man does not sing or dance, but acts as a feed for the woman.
The first song is too old for the girl's voice. The woman is a capital comedienne but tends to carry her comedy too far. She could likely frame a single and get more out of it. While the idea of the act is not new, the act could be threaded into a smoother running for the smaller houses.
