Blackface comedian and dancing.
The hit of the show from a comedy standpoint was registered by the 1916 Cabaret Review which has a blackfaced comedian as its principal support. One of the features was a combination dance, the waltz and Texas Tommy, done by two young persons, which stepping brought down the biggest applause of the evening. The dining room bit and the "duplicate bean" bits have been done before in stage form, Conroy and LeMaire once using them to good advantage, but it gives the Review full scope for the comedian to get busy. The Review was the liveliest turn on the bill and was well received at the Empress.
