Opening !n one with a medley of songs for- a double and a dauce lor exit. Mlaa Francis dlscardsi a white-fur trimmed pink cloab to a beaded white; and Kennedy the frock coat to dreng-suit, and In. full stage. Miss Francla baa her eong and then go:s to bor wcll-Imown acrobatic danclns, that has a triple r.irtwl>eel for exit. This Is fol- lowed by a good soft aboe dance by K-eancdy, fals forte, while Miss. P. changes to an odd tight fitting sort of Yama aXIalr, tlie front of the panta- loons being laticed and displaying the white Oesli- Ings beneath, £Jid she does. a scarecrow routine of. stepping and gives way to Kenned; again for an accentrlc dance by Iilm. For tli« nnal number Miss Francis wore a blacl^ an^d silver beaded gown. The dance' Is half doubled, M>,'<s Francis breolclng away from Kennedy for some ccrobatic bits atone, and then Bnlahlng up wUb blm.

Versatile fits them nicely, and although their present routine may not carry tiiem to the big stuft, they'll reap success where they- are. They- open with a double "kid" song, one drawing the other In a toy express wagon. One varse .al»d chorus would be. enough. The glrlq are doing- two and two. Then to full stage, retaining the trtiz make-up they offer some vflry good double work on a bicycle, and the dark odq has a sdngle wheel fpecialty, followed by the otier's good daoctng-blt on Toiler skates. Their final offering, a double saog •and dnncci ia Chlnesa costwroes, could be. eUailn- ated and substituted with ntraiitbt - costuming. aa4 a change of song.
