A cyclorama and special drop appropriately dress the stage. Following a brief recitation in “one” Nat goes right to his dancing which is followed by a jazz number by the musicians. A double song and dance with the girl is next, the tatter leaving him alone for his “cane” dance, featuring the sliding split and “hoch” steps. The girl does a dancing solo neat, featuring some nifty kicks of the front and back variety… Nazarro’s solo on the cello and then leads his jazzers in accompanying the male singer from the box in a bit that stopped the act cold, but would get just as much with the latter on the stage. More dancing solos by both he and his partner topped off by his eccentrique, which Includes the “rolling split” and reversed “nip up” creating a young riot and clogging up the show for numerous bows and a speech.
