VARIETY in a \A/AITIIM© The other comedy turn was Brendel and Bert, boy and girl, in the No. 4 position. They enter immediately among the best of vaudeville's mixed comedy two-acts. Brendel does a Swede character in his own way, has everything new, from dialog to business and dressing, and with his partner, Flo Bert, can go against any two-act that can get a date. ~Miss Bert as a singer of songs is going to attract a lot of attention. She has the knack of putting them over, and dresses well besides, although her blue or green riding habit at the opening would never prove that. It was the other gown that set her off. Mr. Brendel has two bits of business he should protect at any cost. One is his finish, the other is the kissing. There are really two good "singles" in this double turn, and two good singles as a rule should make a good two-act. Brendel and Bert are better than that. They are Phila- delphians and were in a vaudeville production starting out from there some time ago. Around the Palace it was said the turn was a Bart McHugh act. Sime. Brendel and Bert, next to closing spot, tied the show up in a knot with their comic specialty and cornered the honors of the evening with little or no compe- tition. Brendel has a unique style of characterizing a funny Swede and introduces several novel bits of business. The finale is sure fire anywhere. Miss Bert's solo singing pro- vides the contrast and her num- bers show good musical taste. Wvnn. Booked Solid This and Next Season (Thanks to Musical Comedy Managers for Production Offers)
