This song and dance act entitled “Nifty Nonsense” was nineteen minutes long.
Jim Diamond is a singer, dancer, and comedian who has recently partnered with Sybil Brennan (who was formerly with the Klein Brothers). She wears one pink dress and one green dress. Diamond sings “Somebody Else is Getting It”, and then Brennan has a solo. They come together for two duets for an encore and retain “the kissing business” in “Ragtime Soldier Man”.
"Somebody Else is Getting It"; "The Garden of Yesterday"; "You're My Baby"; "Ragtime Soldier Man"
Diamond is performing better than he ever has, and it seems Brennan is struggling to keep up. Her voice trouble could have been caused by nervousness, but she made an able assistant to Diamond.
