Sully and Houghton

Singing and talking.
The Sully is the youngest of the Sully Family. He's the lad that was the bellhop and information clerk in the Sully Family skit. His new vaudeville partner is Genevieve Houghton, a prepossessing miss, with a pretty good voice and an apparent willingness. Sully talks fast, so much so that at times it's hard to catch the drift of his conversation. The lad is still a corking good dancer. He has gone in for more of the eccentric style and is going to make a lasting success of it. He's not very forte on the vocal end, but manages to work in on several "doubles" with Miss Houghton. Her voice made an impression. Young Sully goes in for dressing much after the familiar fashion of his dad. Unnecessary, as the boy's thin and can wear a much niftier stage layout. Miss Houghton has some nice dresses and wears them becomingly. With more work and the proper trimming, a change of talk and another number that is more of a novelty idea will make this new pair more valuable than now appraised.
