Singing and comic dialogue.
Weston and Eline were ninth with their nut routine and had tough going for awhile. The open with the girl selling buttons, and its man '"makes" her. Then follows nut stuff, the girl getting laughs with some hick baby talk. A comedy double should be eliminated the man's vocalizing being painful. For an encore they imitate a "goofer" taking a "sap broad" into a cabaret The "moll" gets lit on one drink and the "yegg" borrows a "buck" from her to pay for the drink. This is an unsavory piece of business and sounds like Jefferson Market Court stuff. The girl has possibilities, and would accomplish things theatrically under different conditions. The man overdoes the Chuch Connor's type and should adopt, a quieter method of getting his slang across. The dialogue used across the table to the cafe bit is neither new nor original.
With the present frame up they are planted for the small time.
