The opening is rather weak. Both appear in clown costume with whitened faces. There is a quantity of simple acrobatic work and clowning in pantomime with a good average of laughs. The performance of bouncing a big ball back and forth from head to head is continued too long, but the finish was delightfully amusing and good enough to carry the act anywhere. Both put on black robes with little bonnets, and carry through a complete flirtation between two nightingales in pantomime with bird calls as the means of expression.
It was an exquisite bit of comedy and held the house in laughter to the finish.
