The comedian is a capital eccentric dancer. Miss De Milt, a dandy looking girl, along the plump lines, with a smile worth lots, is a big corner of the act. She sings "Mysterious Rag" in fine style.
The trio come so close to gaining the big time mark right off the reel. However, coming close is sometimes as bad as missing a mile, for the hardest step to overcome is often just the few remaining feet. The first thing to fix is the comedy. Instead of the "nance," another character should be tried. The "cissy" thing becomes very tiresome. The comedian should aim to get more laughs out of his dancing. There is not point in the boys doing anything in which Miss De Milt is not involved. They should go for a more Norworth and Bayes style of song. As is the act id ready for the small big time. With proper judgement in framing, it should eventually land them in the big houses.
