Singing and comic lines.
The inevitable girl act this time was "Love and Kisses." To all intents and purposes this might just as well have been a two-act. The comedian and the straight have practically all the business and lines of the piece, the soubret and chorus coming out several times in a haphazard fashion to put over a song and chorus. The big spot in the act is a song put over by two men in which the comedian uses for his last line the title of some famous song which has nothing to do with the verse they sing, yet may be applied in a double entendre. This number established the act where it might have been a dreary flop without it.
