A boy and girl team that will eventually hit the big time. The girl is a second Sadie Burt and the boy needs only to have the rough edges worn off. Then with the proper material and an act staged for them by some one who knows how, they will slide right into [too faded to read] company and hold their own. The turn at present can hold down a No. 2 spot on a big time bill, but if the team are wise they will wait a little longer, let the boy get his stride and then go after the big things. The girl has a most pleasing appearance, a ton of personality and a voice that is remarkable for small time. Between choruses of the "rag" the two indulge in some patter and burlesque, that with a little rearranging and proper staging should get a lot of laughs. The principal trouble with the boy is that in trying he overdoes and his efforts seem strained. His finishes are off as was apparent in his single number. Experience is what he needs.
