“This act will easily hold down any spot on the big time. Seven men and two women are in the act, all thorough musicians.” “There is enough to the repertoire to satisfy both lovers of the ‘rag’ and the ‘heavy stuff.’ The act while at present is an excellent number for any big time card, shows possibilities for a better routine.” Thirty minutes proves to be not too much. The details are appreciated including the attention paid to the Spanish Bandalero costumes.
“The instruments used include guatamalan, marimbas, mirimbaphon, chimes, bells and string instruments. The repertoire is principally classical, from which lighter numbers have been selected. For the finish a medley of popular selections interspersed with short patriotic excerpts brought the house standing when the strains of “America” sounded. For good measure it one of the women assisted by a man, a lively comedian, introduced a snappy Spanish dance which warranted an encore.
