Without any pretense at showmanship or affections of any sort, one man sits down at the ivories and the other starts reeling off a series of restricted comedy songs. What comedy points the songs possess are gotten across for their full effect through the clear enunciation of the lyric by the vocalist He, too, is attired in plain business suit and stands on the rostrum singing his tunes. The lobby billing has it the duo are “featuring their own compositions.” They are doing it effectively. While none of the numbers is of the type one would imagine to move a minstrel into composing, they have a quaint homely humor that hits home with force. A brace of encores fell to them.
