Weir and Crest

Location:
Theater:
Date:
[New act] Singing and talking. 14 mins; one. Two men, one straight, the other doing a well-characterized “wop.” Talk starts ‘em off. It’s new and bright, having to do with the “wop’s” desire to become a citizen. The team have their own material and might well be credited with not picking on any of the other double Italian routines. They don’t say “Push ‘em up” either, which also entitles ‘em to another boost. An operatic medley with a good set of comedy lyrics discloses a mellow tenor possessed by the comic. Straight also sings better than the average. Yodeling bit closes. The turn cleaned up next to closing on the {illegible}. Should develop radially.
