Orth & Fern

Location:
Theater:
Date:
18 min. in 2. Close in 1. I do not know whether it is because these boys are Philadelphians that they made such a pronounced hit, but they certainly got the crowd and held them strong up to an uproarous [sic] finish and an encore in one. Their act includes some excellent trick piano playing, but the comedy of the messenger boy won everybody. Their success in this spot was very gratifying, as this is Miss Irwin’s second week, we did not care to have her next to closing.
