Thos. F. Donnelly and Zelda Rotali

Opening with an Indian song in costume Mr. Donnelly and Miss Rotali go through three or four character numbers, including a "Boogieman" song written in 1001, having a resemblance in melody and lyric to the "Jack o' Lantern" number in "Polly Pickles' Pets," which was composed some years later. Jack o' Lan+terns are used in "Boogieman" also. For the finale a medley of operatic airs are well sung in "one."
The act pleases mildly throughout. Both participants are earnest workers, and should visit more publishing firms than their present music indicates has been done so far.
