Comedy and piano.
Shelton Brook, the colored song writer, gobbled off a bing bang hit with his eccentric piano work, loose-jointed dancing and typical "coon" comedy. He is supported by a straight who plays a clarinet saxaphone mighty well, and dovetails in beautifully. Brook is a logical next-to-closing act anywhere, and his return to smaller time is surprising. It surely cannot be that he did not make good. Ziegfeld might well look this boy over. He could be made a card.
