The Fox of this combination was formerly of Gilday and Fox, a Hebrew dialect team. In this specialty Fox la essaying the well-dressed straight man but at times gets back into the old dialect The comedian tries a hair-lip character at the opening and does a semi- drunk at the finish. The talk contains nothing that would be worth remembering. There Is little point to it and at no time does it become funny. The one funny bit Is the short leg incident, done well and repeated for a good laugh. The singing of a ballad by the straight man will gain results in these houses where ballads are about as sure fire as anything that can be secured. Any time two men, straight and comedian, come on It. Is a cinch bet that a ballad will be forthcoming.
