“Nut” comedy with a young blonde and male comedian.
Singing, impressions and dialogue.
The big legitimate hit of the bill came out in Morrisey and Hackett, a somewhat subdued "nut" comedian, with evidently ideas of his own, and a pretty blonde girl, who has more personality than voice. Mr. Morrisey has a good kidding song on vaudeville imitations (although he takes himself a bit too seriously in this thing, as proven by the length of the Cohan impersonation), but the finish was the heart of the turn. It was a travesty on moving pictures, worked entirely in a new way. Barring that Mr. Morrisey should clip the act down to a shorter period, Morrisey and Hackett are all right for the big time now.
