This sister act was ten minutes long. Two women sing. Miss Leighton plays the piano for the opening number while Miss Gates walks through the crowd with a “camera-like box” which shines a light on people in the audience. They sing solos and duets.
The audience loved the bit with the box and light. It will be quite a hit in the pop houses.
Miss Gates has a pleasing appearance on stage. Miss Leighton does well on the piano, but they need better songs.
