The Lasky operetta
is distinctly a thing apart from
routine vaudeville, and so the Harlem
audience found it. They were plainly
pleased, but were a bit at sea in judging
the number. The probable meaning of all of which is
that the 125th Street audiences like their
vaudeville straight and without any ultra-artistic
frills. Redford and Winchester were the hit of the bill. The shout that
greeted the comedian's efforts to catch
apples on a fork fixed in his teeth could
be heard over on Second Avenue, and when
a gallery boy hurled a pippin smashing
against the comedian's brow the roof girders
fairly trembled.
