Singing, piano playing, and dialogue.
The act was very well received at the American.
Man and woman. Latter playing piano when she stops suddenly and phones for heat, complaining of the cold. Janitor is sent up, and appears with a small heater, so tiny it's good for a laugh. Talk prior to songs by Hall and O'Brien, with subsequent numbers, proved only an embellishment for the real talent of the turn. They can sing, the man's voice in particular being of a high tenor range. His enunciation, by the way, being clearly intelligible in all parts of the house. The woman also has a good voice, and the pair, while showing to advantage singly, found biggest favor with their harmony.
