Quaker City Quartet

Location:
Theater:
Date:
On at 1.59, 17 min full stage, 6 min close in 1, 23 min in all.  Not the Quaker City Four of the old days by any means.  Their singing is not up to the old standard, and they have cut out all instrumental work except Ernst’s guitar-playing.  John Healy has incorporated his monologue almost bodily into the act and he succeeds in getting a number of laughs.  Would hardly stand a better spot than one or two in the big houses, would probably get by at three or four in the smaller.  Of course, the lengthy of time they do is a point in their favor, also the fact of their closing in 1.
