Yates and Reed

Female impersonation comedy and some comic dialogue.
Yates and Reed put over the first laugh when Francis Yates discloses his identity after opening with a very good female impersonation. The boys very wisely hold to the impersonation stuff long enough to get started, and after the change, which follows a very good bass solo by Gus Reed, they do nicely with some talk. There is just a little too much of the latter. It might be split with another song number, inasmuch as both men possess pleasing voices.
