The act was nineteen minutes long.
A classy-looking woman sings several songs. She begins with a “coon” song followed by a recitation, a production number, and some Irish stories.
"Your Daddy Did the Same Thing 50 Years Ago"
Her coon dialect was good, but she did not have the "punch" necessary to make the Irish stories a hit. She should have quit after the "Daddy" number, as it got the biggest response out of the reluctant audience. She dragged the performance down by singing another after that. With some guidance she could make it to the bigger circuit quickly.
