Comic dialogue, singing done by female assistant.
It was a short time ago a trio called Lydell, Rogers and Lydell played the big time. Rogers left the act and a man by the name of Fisher replaced him. Rogers, Pollack and Rogers has evidently the missing Rogers, for the act is a duplicate of the other. Rogers plays a straight and employs a comedian after the style of the late Rube Dickinson, together with a young woman who sings and dances a bit. The action is supposed to take place back stage. Rogers does most of the work, the comedian (although made up the same as Lydell of the other trio) is not as polished along that line. The young woman dresses neatly. Two acts with such a marked likeness cannot be expected to play the big time.
