[New Act] Sister Act, 13 mins; one. Sister turn opening with “Tiddle de Winks” going into a mediocre dance. A too fast tempo accounted for this. “Swanee” also doubled, balanced matters, and a “Frenchy” vocal solo by the brunette reestablished it once more. The other miss did “Wake Up in My Mother’s Arms” capitally with a lot of acting hokum that got the house strong. A vocale [sic] and semi-dance double concluded. The number is well written and well handled. The beauty in the rendition is getting the lyric across which is no cinch with its fast, jazzy pace, but it was accomplished. Pop house grade.
