"Georgia, Ain't you Coming Home"
This duo may have been Wallace and Hollingsworth. Their routine is a smooth likeable one and may work up to the better bookings. The boy enters in darkness to place a bench and then a chair, which he takes off even with the lights up, waiting for the girl. She finally enters, supposedly playing a violin. They recognize and call each other by their first names, Hettie and Jeremiah. Jere is supposed to be a stage hand but he keeps right on talking to Het. Some mention is made of Georgia but the man's dialect is partially rube, though he hails from the South. His expression "Lord have mercy," is used as a tag line. The couple duetted with "Georgia, Ain't you Coming Home" and it earned them an encore, also an excellent measure
of applause.
