Buck and wing dancers. 13 min. in 1. 2 shows (should be 2). Blackface, making a good presentation in white suits. Do a little singing which is only fair, and a good deal of dancing which is much better. Received some advance applause because they are known to be Philadelphia boys. The various dances received good applause and the close was strong for that kind of an act. It must be said, however, that this is not better than a three-a-day act, and there is absolutely no justification for their demanding a place in the two-a-day section,. More than that, they caused a good deal of annoyance by demanding the cream spot on the bill and make themselves generally obnoxious by their kicks. They certainly entertain an opinion of the merits of their act, which is by no means justified. Two curtain calls, largely due to the insistence of their friends. Underworld and overpaid.
