Singing and dialogue.
Here is an act that would be better off if the team confined themselves entirely to singing instead of using the little talk that they do at the opening of the act. Both the man and woman have voices, and they have ideas when it comes to putting over a song. They do a double at the opening of the act that is not any too strong, but as soon as they finish their talk and start with "Down on the Farm" they begin to land. The man offers "Don't Cry, Frenchy" in a manner that makes the number convincing. A parody on "I'm So Used to You Now," applied to booze, was a riot. The act with just a little more speeding should get along nicely in any early spot on big time.
