In ‘Under The Sea’ – quite a novel act, the act representing the bottom of the sea, and the characters being a comedy Irishman and a mermaid. – The humor arises through the setting of these widely different beings. – They won several good laughs but were not at one would term a great hit. – To my way of thinking the act is a trifle coarse. – Not the best of language is used. – A great laugh was received on the use of the word ‘Hell’ but this was ordered ‘out’. – An act out of the ordinary but not too refined so far as the work of the man is concerned.  – Special act. – 16 minutes.
