| Description: | SCOTT AND WHALEY Strange routine by entertainers Scott and Whaley. Entertainers Scott and Whaley are introduced by an unidentified M.C. Paperwork calls them "two Star Variety and B.B.C. artists". Scott and Whaley are two African-American entertainers. One of them is in "black face" which is rather bizarre. Perhaps the man in "black face" is actually white but it is all very weird so it is hard to tell. The man in black face wears a trampish suit that is too big, the other man looks very smart in tails and bow tie. The former is the "fool" and the latter very intelligent and smart. The two have some comic banter about drinking water with whiskey, they then perform a song which may be called "Crocodile Isle". | |
