Comic dialogue.
Earle Remington and Mayme Remington compose this team of comedienne and straight woman. Miss Earle became known in vaudeville as of Hines and Remington; Miss Mayme as equally known through "Mayme Remington and Picks." It's quite a smooth billing scheme, Remington and Remington, for two of that name, unrelated. Either may claim to be the first in the billing, or perhaps neither cares. The only kind of billing that could stand up alongside of it would be The Remingtons. Miss Earle has always been vaudeville writing, among other writings. She likely evolved this comedy skit, with herself as the eccentric comedienne and Miss Mayme doing the straight. It's just a comedy talking act, with Miss Earle working very hard in it. The talk is mostly cross fire. There is a conversational opening for the introduction and another written portion in for an exit. Among the gags are several recognizable, but they drew the most laughs before the small time audience at 125th Street. The turn needs some
working in and will then pass along on the better small time. Let's hope the girls make the big time with it.
