May West and Gerard Boys

Location:
Theater:
Date:
The act was nine minutes long. May West sings. The Gerard Boys are tall and well dressed, but mainly serve to fill in time when West is changing costume. The trio also did a “rag” number on chairs which was funny.
West should refrain from making adjustments to her dress while onstage. The unconscious movement is distracting. May West also functions well in a wise crowd, because her work was "as far above the heads of the American Roof clientele as the roof was above the street."
