Two young men in black face singing, dancing, and talking act. The talk is very bad – about the worst that I have ever heard in my life – and if the act depended upon that alone I should have been obliged to cancel, but they really do some pretty good dancing, and it was pretty bright opening for the show I cut the talk down as mush as possible and let them continue. They are really very clever dancers. 12 min in one.
