Female impersonation, comic dialogue, and instrumental music.
The Werner Amoros Trio, three men, one a female impersonator, suffered with their attempts at comedy. The act opens fast enough with juggling and an attempt of one of the men to flirt with the female impersonator. A cloth tearing bit and the plate juggling could be better handled. The two men then play the piano and cello and the impersonator plays several selections on the violin, assisted by the pianist, while the other endeavors to get some fun out of a good impression of Chaplin. A bit where the impersonator removes his wig did nothing in the way of a surprise, and another melodious selection closed the act, while the Chaplin impersonator tried to take bows when the lights go out, as is done by Joe Jackson.
