This “settee” act was thirteen minutes long.
The duo places a “rustic bench” in front of an olio drop. They open with a recitation duet and some dancing. The girl does a solo and the man does a monologue and “Yiddish” song. The girl changes to a short soubret dress and they do some more singing and a “neat dance” for the finale.
The bench was not used enough for it to be onstage at all. The act will succeed on the small big time.
