Spiegel and Dunn

The act was sixteen minutes long. Spiegel and Dunn sing and dance in blackface. They open with a song in which the comedian is dressed in grotesque attire and the straight is dressed in a sack suit. The straight sings a solo while the comedian changes into evening clothes. The comedian does an eccentric dance while the straight dresses up as a woman. The two men then do some comedy talk, with the straight speaking in a high voice. They finish with several duets.
The act was a hit with the audience. They displayed unusually good singing and eccentric dancing. They compare favourably with other acts doing the same thing.
