- Abstract
- From Variety July 19, 1918: Doyle and Dixon. songs and Dances. 16 mins. One. Brighton.
"It is two years since Doyle and Dixon played vaudeville. They return but temporarily by 'special permission' of Mr. Dillingham. Doyle and Dixon can dance. All their ability, however, is not in their feet, which may account for their continuous and increasing value. They originate in dancing, an oddity these days . . . Of their dances, two were new, one a double dance in which Mr. Doyle did a tripping step that held some comedy in it, and he also did a single dance. The Doyle and Dixon success is easily summarized: creation and individuality in their dancing. Individuality in dancing is rare, creation more so, and the combination could hardly fail, when put over with the finish these two boys give to it."
