"In the Old Neighborhood."
McDougal and Shannon opened the program with "In the Old Neighborhood" (seen before when presented by another Irish team) and got over nicely with the musical numbers. There's the usual Tad talk, but it would be well for both the man and the woman to elevate their voices a trifle. It was hard to catch much of the dialog even at close range. The combination of violin and hornpipes caught on immensely and the results were certain in the 58th Street neighborhood. The girl would present a neater appearance by cutting off a half inch or so off her dress. The blue skirt almost swept the floor and the newspaper ads say that the very long outfits are unseasonable.
