Theater:
Type:
[New Act] Violin, comedy talk, songs; 15 mins; one. The offering of the present male combination is virtually founded on the same comedy lines as the former Phil Baker turn and also carries Baker’s former partner, Jojo, thereby probably accounting for the similarity of routine. Saranoff opens the turn with a ballad selection followed by a few minutes of speech expressions on the string instrument. Jojo finally interrupts his partner’s work from one of the upper box seats with a hearty laugh, followed by comment on his ability as a violin player. Box member then renders several song numbers that were well liked, especially the “Ha, Ha, Ha” comedy selection. Very good for the smaller grade of houses.
