[New act] Piano Act, 13 mins; one. Two men. One handles the songs the other piano accompanies, harmonizing intermittently also. After the usual special song opening about what they’re going to do, etc., a Dixie number followed in a very Van and Shcenck fashion. A “Steamboat Blues” also scored well following which the pianist semi-talk, semi-sung. “I Don’t Have to Die to Go to Heaven. “Chile Bean” preceded an encore. The vocalist can do tricks with a blues number or a coon song, although the “Chile” comedy number was not put over as well as it might. Acceptable No. 2 big timers.
