Jack Lexey and Al Rome have gotten together since the mustering out of troops was begun. Their dance routine started out with an alleged duet like other hoofing duos but in this case not a word of the lyric was distinguishable. However that counted for little, the boys getting down to stepping at which they both showed ability. One is short and goes in for comedy successfully. His partner is lithe and a fast and graceful worker. Finishing off his single specialty this chap. pulled a most unusual acrobatic fall, almost as exceptional as John Barrymore's flop in "Redemption" and neater than that. The boys' work on the whole is of the
eccentric order, which may attract legitimate producers. They earned two encores. One was an imitation of Jim Toney's knock-kneed dance, done by the comic of the team. The act easily
fits for No. 2.
