The act was seventeen minutes long.
Ellis and Farkoa are both from musical comedy, having recently performed in “The Merry Countess” and “The Social Whirl” respectively. Ellis does a piano solo and then accompanies Farkoa as he sings “Two Dirty Little Hands”. Farkoa also sings two other songs in French. They repeat the chorus of “My Sumurun Girl” for the encore.
"Two Dirty Little Hands"; "I Like Love"; "I Love a Lassie" (French); "My Sumurun Girl" (French)
Ellis received raucous applause both before and after he performed. His popularity is immense.
Farkoa handled his songs with "an appreciable quantity of expression that is so often lacking in American male singers." This act is the classiest of its kind in vaudeville.
