The Diving Girls

This diving act was eleven minutes long on the full stage. Two girls in black tights (and bare arms) do a routine of swimming and diving. The tank is announced as fifteen feet long, ten feet wide, and seven feet deep. A well-dressed man in flannels does the announcements. For the finish, an old woman runs down the aisle and claims to be the mother of one of the girls. The girl dives into the water to get away from the woman but she follows her, and jumps into the tank fully clothed. The older woman is announced as the mother of several champion divers who is a champion herself. She wear comedic underclothes which are visible under the water.

Deely and Barlow

The act was eleven minutes long. A male and female team sing, dance, and play the piano dressed in evening attire. They open with a duet and some dancing. The girl then plays the piano for a conversation song in which the man asks her questions. She answers them in time to the music.

Bonnie Gaylord

The act was nine minutes long. Bonnie Gaylord opens with a song, then changes costume to that of a “bucolic” girl character. She then tells several stories in “rube fashion” while standing on one foot.

Hayward Sisters

This sister act was eleven minutes long. One sister is dressed as a boy. They open with a song in which they do some excellent harmonizing. They also do a “wop” number, but their dialect is poor.

Page and Watson

The act was fifteen minutes long. Page and Watson are a male and female song and dance team. The woman is pretty with a lot of personality and attractive costumes, which make up for her thin singing voice. The man begins the act in eccentric Scotch makeup. The couple begin the act together and then do single songs and dances. They come together for a good “rag” at the end.
