Costumes and hotel lobby set.
Comic dialogue and songs.
In a set representing a hotel lobby, with the usual business employed for comedy, Phil Adams has rounded a "girl act" together above the average for the better small time houses. Six girls surround him, besides another man who has little to do but look after the bellboy job and lead one number. All the girls can dance and sing. The costuming passes, excepting the one used for the next-to-closing number. It does not show up well. The comedy will receive its laughs around the small time, but a number of old "gags" could be replaced; also those lines that come close to the danger line. This happens at the opening and reminds one of a burlesque troupe. Many a manager will no doubt enforce a rule to have them taken out. With a little fixing here and there the act should have no trouble.
