Bert Yorke and Frank Byron are
the comedians, although practically
all the male principals indulge in
comedy. more OF less. Byron and
Yorke are eccentric comedians, a type
which we seldom see in burlesque.
They handle the comedy in a very
acceptable manner, and their work
went big with those that witnessed
