Singing.
The Nay Vee Four, a quartet of husky gobs, each decorated with a single service stripe, sang and capered on the stage and took an encore. The boys came from the U.S.S. Mississippi and their encore was an example of their entertainment on board their ship. The first and third chaps indulge in prolonged spasms of the "shimmy," but shoulder moments only remove all traces of offensiveness from it. The third chap, also, is a natural exponent of the art of "hokum," and his graceful bows, poses and grimaces won applause.
