The act was nine minutes long. Jimmy O’Brien sings ragtime numbers and is accompanied by two boys who play the violin and the piano. He is a notable Cabaret singer from Chicago. The violinist is similar to Smiling Jimmy Morgan.
All three of them have pleasing personalities. O'Brien puts his numbers over well. "While O'Brien and Boys should get all the work they want it's too bad that they didn't hit Broadway when the Cabaret thing in vaudeville was at its zenith."
