Rooney and Bent

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Singing, impersonation and recitation.
Rooney and Bent were next to closing and scored their usual Harlem triumph. The man who wrote "Familiarity breeds contempt" would throw away his pencil if be ever caught this pair in this particular theatre. No matter how stormy the vaudeville seas may become there is always a haven of refuge for Pat and Marion at the Alhambra. The act remains the same and closes in "one" with Pat giving an impersonation of his father singing "She's a Daughter of Rosie O'Grady," and following with a song recitation in the spotlight. They are. very piano with the hoofing these days, an impression of Frisco being all that Pat attempted.
