The act was twenty-six minutes long on the full stage.
This Welsh male choir is made up of men approximately twenty-five to fifty years of age dressed in evening clothes. The director stands onstage with his back to the audience. He does many entrances, exits, and bows. A bass and a tenor both have solos. The finale included the entire choir and their encore was a “Welch war song”.
"Asleep in the Deep"; "Silver Threads"; "Gypsies' Laughing Chorus"
The choir is full of good singers, but its stage appearance and song arrangement is terrible. The songs went over well, but there is nothing in this act that suggests it will last long in vaudeville. "And in this heyday of American novelties something besides vocal ability is expected."
