Singing.
Otto and Sheridan (two women) have a pleasing turn of sufficient merit to warrant a try in the bigger houses after the necessary work. The material alone should carry them there, though the principals are now somewhat unfamiliar with it. Besides, they have a flashy outlay of gowns. The pianiste entertains with various bits during the changes of the other, who offers five numbers with as many changes. She is mainly responsible for the success of the vocal end, but does not possess a voice of quality, but again, knows how to talk a number. The Italian composition could be dis- carded until such time as she attains a better knowledge of the dialect, for while it might not prove much of a hindrance so early in the turn, it nevertheless takes a slight edge off her, otherwise passable performance. It would also curtail the running time.
