Lillian Lea’s Trio

The act was fifteen minutes long on the full stage. Two girls and a man have a musical routine. The man opens with a pantomimic comedy complete with a self-moving bottle and a trick table that blows flour into his face. The girls then play the bottles in a cafe scene. They also play xylophones, which are disguised as the tables.
The man's props are ancient and the girls' costumes look like that of Irene Franklin's old burlesque soubrette character and do not match their act. Only the music portion of the act makes it acceptable for the small time.
