Open as a trio with introductory song, supplemented by brief bit of stepping. Two of the girls next offer a double introducing some neat toe dancing. Girl mentioned as having a voice does a ballad, followed by another double by the pair that had previously contributed the toe stepping. Vocalist back for a short singing bit and the three close with fast dancing finish.
The quintet, two men and three women, open in “four,” singing what probably is a native Russian folk song, accompanying themselves on string instruments. The balance of the routine is a cycle of ‘hock”‘ dancing, most of it seen before, with a few new steps, well executed. One of the women is also something of a toe dancer. The two men do a double solo that won considerable and all told the act might fit in neatly on some big-time bills. It’s a corking act of its kind.

There is humor in the opening. Miss Eastman steps from the folds of a tableaux curtain as a country lass, singing a lyric to alibi her appearance on the stage, for her father owned the opery house back in the Village. Two rube boys Join her (McNally and Cohee). The boys remain for an excellent acrobatic dance. Before they got into action one fell and asked his partner to help him up. The reply was he couldn’t, but would lie down beside him.

Ford opens with a lyric which tells of having sought abroad for new steps, providing a chance for the introduction of the girls singly as representatives of foreign lands. Bach dances a bit with Ford. The lyric ends with the opinion that “most every step that has any pep comes from Broadway,” and the girl who darned that bit was easily the best looker and the best dancer in support.
18 Mins. Two (Special).
This mixed duo make their appearance from an insert in the special “drop” to deliver a lyric on the different characters in the kid story books. After which the boy takes his place at the piano to accompany his partner while she completes a duo of imitations that get by on the strength of the lyrics rather than her ability to impersonate. Francis White and Fannie Brice were the two subjects undertaken and both were handled badly…
10 Mins
Three girls, one of whom, Miss Marr, has a very pleasing personality, grace and an ability to put over a song, she appears in the final number in a mans evening dress and leads in a trio dance with the other two girls which gives the ad a nice finish and sends them off to applause.
14 Mins.; Full Stage (Special).
Two women and a man handling the footwork. With the remaining woman figuring in a duet of Spanish melodies, end another in English. The act could stand some cutting in running time. Both of the women dancers take their turn at soloing, though not so the representative of the Sterner sex who seems a bit shy as to ability to equal to that of his partners… The honors go to the smaller of the women, who repeatedly scored with her pedal exertions and seemed to be very proficient with the castanets as well.
14 Mins.; One (Special Set).
The footwork is still a big asset. but the conversation also held good. The act opens to a pop melody sung on a phonograph with the “drop” having the pair at a table inside a cafe, their figures silhouetted against the white cloth with transparent signs providing the means of carrying out the supposed verbal sayings. The outlining goes on for perhaps two minutes and, at that seems overdone.
Songs and dances, assisted by Roy Barton at the piano. 20 minutes in One. Mr. Ford’s songs are good, and his dancing immense. A big hit.
15 min. These two boys have a medley of songs and dances that got them over to big applause. Their finishing number was a riot and they went as well as any two-man dancing team we have had here in a long time. They are versatile chaps and have a good lot of material.
