A "sister act" away from the deluge of "two women teams." New hereabouts and with a style and line of material that lifts them above the average run of "sister" combinations. The girls have gone in for one number in particular. A bit of travesty, to be sure, but a lyrical "punch" in the general make-up of the song that was unusually well received at the American the last half of the week. The girls dress up as buck privates, effect an awkward mannerism, and then go into a satire on what is paid out of the $30 a month. A dance follows that was well done, teamwork being demonstrated, and the layout effective. The girls are good dancers, one going in for an eccentric frame that go big results, especially on the run and slide that she did from both sides of the stage. She does it differently from others attempting a similar feat. The other girl is a good toe dancer, and also has several "steps" that should be developed for a longer period. The weakest part of the turn was the little "recitation" one girl does, and which seemed only a time-killer at best. The girls were a large-sized hit; work along refreshing lines, and should stick hereabouts for some time to come in consecutive work. They were "No. 2" at the American A much later position could have been used with credit to them.
