Singing and comic dialogue.
Dyer and Fay (a three-act) closed the first half. The turn still opens well, and goes into a droop toward the centre, dropping still lower with the burlesque bit, but picking up strongly on the closing number. The two boys alone upon the stage continually, without "single" or "doubles" used should be able to to built up a regular act. The comedian has a style that should be worked to its full limit, with more versatility, while the "straight" is now doing excellently, barring he spoke to loud even for the roof. Some of the "straight" men should take a look at the clothes worn by the boy in this act. He's a dressy fellow and that helps him more than may be imagined.
