“Two Little Pals.” (12).
Miniature Musical Comedy.
32 Mins;
The lyrics are bright and well constructed and the music better than many a Broadway musical show. The act is also strong on sight values, two special drops in one, a yellow and lavender changeable silk drape, an exterior of a cave, and a full stage futuristic set comprising the scenic complement. The book, while pleasing, is a bit too talky and could stand more comedy. The running time of 32 minutes might also be chopped about five minutes with the advantages of added speed that that might bring. Opening with an octet, four boys and four girls, in a number that may have been suggested by the old “Tell Me Pretty Maiden.” “Florodora Sextet,” but in no wise trespassing on the latter in lyrics or music, the act gets off to a good start.
