"Get Out of This Theatre."
Man and woman, programming their turn as "a satirical comedy with songs, entitled 'Get Out of This Theatre," by Willard Mack." They start out with a new idea for an entrance and shortly afterward abandon it for the conventional routine of singing, crossfire and a little stepping. While the singing and crossfire ranks with the best, it is the opening idea that lifts the act out of the regular run of man and woman turns in "one" and should be carried through to the finish. Miss Vance opens with a prima donna solo and is interrupted by Sylvester, clad as a fireman, who demands to know what she means by bringing gasoline into her dressing room. There ensures a lot of flip dialog, marred only by a couple of ancient "gags" that should be immediately deleted. Miss Vance has a very sweet singing voice of limited volume and knows how to use it to the best advantage. Her gowns were rich and in very good taste. Sylvester changes to evening clothes and also sings pleasingly. The couple have undoubted talent and a good idea, full of possibilities. They shouldn't let anybody steer them away from its elaboration.
