The act was sixteen minutes long.
Two boys perform in front of a Chinatown backdrop and do several changes. They perform their opening song as “Chinks” and do some comedic talk with a girl. They change into so many different disguises that it appears as though there are many more people in the act. One of them sings a song as a “dope” and another does a short speech in verse as a policeman.
"In the Smoke"
The policeman's speech did not go over well. The Chinamen characters were the best. If the act is changed, it could rise to the big time. As it is now it can survive on the small big time or big small time.
