"Wait Till I Get You on Broadway," "Snooky Ooky Melody," "Knittin', Sittin', Kittin'," and "Goodness Gracious, Agnes."
Sherman, Van and Hyman, up next, found a soft spot and cleaned off the bases with their piano and song routine. The pianist is a dandy musician, although he wasn't visible from the right hand side of the house. The trio wear green coats and white trousers throughout the turn. They open with a telephone number, using the instruments near the piano with "Wait Till I Get You on Broadway." Then "Snooky Ooky Melody," which sounds like a relic of the old shivery green spot songs. The next is a solo with a trick lyric anent "Knittin", Sittin', Kittin',"
followed by a Frenchy double. "Goodness Gracious, Agnes," a nance double with one member knitting and pulling a hobble skirted walk, was the last and best liked. It landed them solidly, and they closed one of the applause hits of the show.
