Two men, 18 minutes in one. Too light for this spot as they have nothing to offer but very aged jokes, some burlesque, the “Steve” which was put on the market a year ago at least and a few moments of dancing. Their best joke “How does a goat smell?” we cut, while “What grows larger the more you take from it. Answer “A hole,” still remains in the act. The offering will go well with a burlesque show but not where women and children attend frequently as they do in this theatre. They open their act with an impersonation of drunken men and close burlesquing a Mother poem which combination is outside the boundaries of what people here believe good entertainment.
