Mason and Bailey.

15 Mini.; One. For some reason the majority of colored comedy teams start off by tossing threats of deadly assault at each other. Mason and Bailey, two men, are no exception save they are a bit funnier than the others. The argument starts when one tries to sing. The other with a brick in his digits says that his partner has a face that looks like no man’s land and he thinks he will kill the other. But the song goes anyhow and with it a parody on prohibition. From there on the men go into dances, each doing specialties until the finish. The first effort had one dancing with an imaginary partner and it is good. Later he does what he calls “Chasm/ Rainbows” and it went well enough for a repeat which was given. On second they went well. Good for three a day and perhaps a better spot on occasion.
