This trio had a rather hard time of it in the Alhambra bill Monday. There was much of dancing preceding in the last half of the show and this coupled with the fact that they were closing the bill made it very difficult. At that they managed to hold the majority of the audience and earned several solid rounds of applause. The offering is a neat one even though it follows the rather stereotyped routine of acts of this sort. This is offset in a measure by the corking appearance of the girls who do four numbers with a change of costume for each. Lew
Pollock at the piano plays accompaniment for their singing and dancing and offers solos during the waits for their changes. The opening has the girls in light blue dresses and they put over a nifty little song and dance. Pollock then plays and wins a bit. This is followed by another song/and dance by the girls and then another solo by Pollock. A gypsy song after this, pretty much the best in the act. Before the final number Pollock has the audience whistling with his playing and the snap that he puts in his handling of the ivories here had a lot to do with holding the house. For a final number the girls are back in long dresses again.
In an earlier spot the act would have undoubtedly developed into a fair sized hit.
