In one, 15 min. Blackface song and dance; one in neat, other in comedy makeup; these boys are local, and haven’t played around much; they had a crowd of friends in front. They have a bunch of talk that belongs to the old Van Lear and Barton act, which is not much good and doesn’t do much harm, but they could get along without it as both the boys are fairly clever dancers. I would advise the booking of the act in the other houses for an early place on the bill as they are ready to work cheap, and there is nothing offensive in their act.
