Comic dialogue and a song.
The act may not be new in point of construction, but the team appears new to local theatergoers. The man goes in for an inky-black make-up, while the woman runs more to tan. Much of their success hinges on their cross-fire, with the man making quick stuttering replies. There's talk about what the mean did at the "party," with the Americanites the last half seemingly obtaining much amusement from the entire turn. Act seems best adapted for the pop houses. The woman displays the better voice and has a solo - one with a patriotic trend - that was well received.
