Comic songs and singing.
Louise Dresser and Jack Gardner got a big reception when their letter was flashed. The team are not doing themselves justice with their present vehicle, by Jack Lait. Their skit is too obviously written to exploit their singing talents. It la altogether too much like the old fashioned man and woman sketch team formation. In which one would enter and say, "What I nine o'clock and my partner not here yet? While I am waiting for her I'll just try over my latest song." A character song, "How Do They Fall for Those Guys?", with a great set of comedy lyrics, was the best liked of Miss Dresser's numbers. That tried and true favorite, "My Gal Sal," also came in for a big hand. Closing the first half, Dresser and Gardner did not make anyways
near the impression that might have been expected of two such capable entertainers. The act needs a new finish.
