"The Two Boiled Owls"

Comical looking gentlemen, are they not? Judging by their picture they are well able to keep each other amused. As a matter of fact they are a pair of very clever entertainers. One of them is a really brilliant musician, one of those fellows who seem able to get all sorts of fun out of a piano without the slightest sacrifice of artistic technique. Jazz, manipulated by this Boiled Owl, is a revelation. It has been said that his sparkling improvisations would make even an Egyptian mummy want to dance the Charleston. As for his companion, his forte is humour. He’s so full of it that he can’t stop it from bubbling over even when he wants to be serious. Between them they promise to give listeners-in to 2YA some really rollicking times. The Two Boiled Owls will be heard in humorous elocutionary numbers, both verse and prose, novelty piano work, and comedy sketches. These genial customers cannot fail to amuse you. If you’re feeling "blue" tune in for them at 2YA on Friday, and the dose of merriment they will give you will be as good as a tonic. The Two Boiled Owls have but one slogan: "Cheerio!’’
