Ralph Dunbar’s Bell Ringers

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
Five men wear evening clothes. On a semi circle table there is an arrangement of almost one hundred individual bells that vary greatly in size.
Bell ringing paired with singing.
A very pretty act and quite a novelty to vaudeville. There have been bell ringing acts in the past, but they are so far in the past they do not come within the scope of memory of the present day vaudeville clientele, and therefore this act should prove a high class novelty. The five men handle [the bells] nicely. Interspersed with the bell selections are several singing numbers neatly put over. Closing the show at the Colonial Monday night the act not only held the audience in, but received a goodly share of applause. Placed earlier it undoubtedly would have been a bigger hit.
