GHR 22. Two young men in a musical comedy act, one of them working straight and the other as a Dutch comedian. He is not a very good comedian, but he is not at all offensive, and their music partakes largely of novelty. They carry a special set cottage over which is running vines of roses apparently, but which are really sleighbells, and which they play quite effectively. They also have a large number of flower pots on the stage which they play while apparently watering them and which makes a big hit. They have an artificial pear tree, playing on the pears, which they reach as though in the act of gathering them. They close with an imitation f a Dutch band. Considered from the standpoint of a novelty, it is a very pleasing act. 18 minutes, open full stage, and close in one.
