Miller and Penfold

Singing.
Next to closing were Miller and Penfold, Eddie Miller and Tom Penfold, with the former Eddie Miller song routine in its principal points, Mr. Miller, however, forgoing the yodel. The opening and closing are the same, with the boys each doing a single number between the ends. Mr. Miller sang a lively and pretty little number that sounded new, while Mr. Penfold had an Irish comic, bringing a handicap to him through the Reilly Irish singing ahead. Mr. Miller is still the main support of the act, perhaps through familiarity with it. When doing the doubles it is Miller who rushes into the lead with that looks to be more confidence than Mr. Penfold uncovers, and through this the main attention is diverted to Miller, although Penfold in his solo number got everything out of it he could under the circumstances.
