"Bom-Bombay."
Comedy act and a good one of its kind. Big hit at the Fifth Avenue Monday night. Slender young man and corpulent woman affect dialects of two different nations. The man appears as an Italian barber and the woman as the Irish boarding-house keeper. The drop shows the "exterior" of the tonsorial joint and the rooming-house. Outside is also a revolving barber pole and on the stand supporting it the team sits and reels off comedy crossfire. The patter for the most part is amusing, with each kidding the other. For the finish the woman does "Bom-Bombay" in comedienne style, with the man doing a funny musical accompaniment.
