Pete, Pinto and Boyle, a male trio, preceded the closing turn and scored laughs aplenty. The turn is very much on the style of the former Sabini and Goodwin turn; in fact, carries one of the old members. Boyle, a husky son, is the first to appear, saying his partner is ill and he would have to make the best of things. His following song is interrupted from offstage. In answer one of the members, supposed to be a non-member, appears with a letter of recommendation to fill the vacancy. He is a “wop” which leaves license for Pinto, the other member, seated in the orchestra, to come into the limelight as an interpreter. Following the comedy talk all three combine their efforts, one doing singing, the other playing a guitar, while the third utilizes a large truck for his finger playing instrument.
