Blackface makeup and costumes.
Comic dialogue and singing.
Robinson and McShayne, a two-man blackface act, had the next spot. Both have good voices, but are shy on method in getting a song. Their talk, along comedy lines, is poor. With the right sort of handling and some one to lay out their routine for them they may be a big time possibility. A ballad, "Little Gray Mother," went over very well.
