The song numbers and
talk were both put over to a dialect so
accurate the majority mistook the duo
for darkies. Then came the punch at
the finish, the girl putting over the impression
that she was a female impersonator.
It's a good idea as a final
applause winner.
The appeal in this act, from an applause
standpoint, lies entirely in the
surprise finish, where the first revelation
is that the girl who sports a "high
yaller" complexion is white, and then
to make it twice as difficult, the wig
is removed and the girl stands revealed
as an "impersonator?"
