The act was nine minutes long on the full stage.
Kendall enters through the audience carrying a doll that emerges from a coffin-like box as he tells a few jokes. For the finish, a man from the audience is invited up to kiss the doll. He is probably a plant. After Kendall places the doll back in her box, she gets up and walks offstage herself.
The gag with the kiss got a good laugh. "The American audience was interested and puzzled."
This is an entertaining novelty act for the pop time.
