These people surprised me, for the last time they played here I was not especially favorably impressed with their act, but the walked on this afternoon and made quite a pronounced impression. They first sing a medley which I think is about the best constructed thing of the sort I have ever heard. They tell a lot of “gags” and stories in a manner somewhat different from the ordinary talking team, and close with more singing. They made quite a hit this afternoon and are an exceptionally good team. 12 minutes in one.
