...uncanny colored sense of rhythm is given full play in producing Moonglow, Dinah, Margie, and Sylvin, the first being especially pleasing. The Five Percolators provide a certain amount of entertainment by their verbal antics and assorted tap dancing...

Let this be no deterrent, however, to those who view life with the comic spirit, for such will find the entertainment eminently laughable. And since no smoking is allowed at the Park Theater, the stage is always clearly visible...
