Dolly Kay, a syncopated songstress opened very Al Jolson with “mammy’s Arms” and clung to this manner of delivery in a more of less modified form throughout in all published stuff she delivered. Suffice it, she delivered handsomely and accepted an encore for “wild About Moonshine.” Miss Kay is a raggy singer who jazzes her war into favor from the start. For her second song she rendered a paraphra on “Bimbo on Bamboo Isle” with Babe Ruth the hero in the song, to wit: “We have a bimbo at the Polo Grounds.” It’s superfire for these hectic baseball parts and no doubt can be switched for other personalities and localities elsewhere.
