This turn has been playing around since the termination of the war and includes four uniformed characters, Scotch, Canadian, English and Irish. It is mainly a singing combination, but comedy is derived through the excellent characterization pf the “cockney.” A special set representing a trench ‘scene with the four men in regulation active service regalia, the, dialogue being broken up by a bass solo, a ballad and a recitation of the kind applause nature by the Canadian. The solo offerings got most the ensemble numbers, sounding slightly flat in spots. The “cockney’s” ragging of the Scotchman and his comedy recital of his experiences while on leave pulled continuous laughs at the Columbia.
