(Colored) Man and woman in a singing and dancing act that was easily the hit of the show. They both make a good appearance and they both work. The man is a crackerjack dancer in fact one of the best I ever saw. They are free from affectation and simply sing and dance their way into the good graces of our patrons. At the first show they were recalled five or six times. The trombone player in my orchestra at present is Doc Quigley, Mgr. of Al G. Fields Minstrels, incidentally one of the very best eccentric dancers in America, and he simply refuses to play his instrument while this act is on. I questioned him about his laying off and he says he is too busy trying to catch some of the steps of this team. 22 minutes in one.
