The sketch would get over on any bill but melodramatic situations could be toned down with profit. (Cincinnati) DIAMOND & BRENNAN - - 18 minutes in one. Olio. Man and woman working straight. Energetic, hard working song and dance team. man is an eccentric comedian who makes the act a feature o n he bill. Repeated encores from a delighted audience at both shows.

(Toledo) PATHE'S WEEKLY
