Character impressions.
Claudia Coleman is billed as "The Smile Girl." Her act consists in giving impressions of various types of women, with the aid of several hats. Among the bits is an idea of a bride at the market for the first time in her life. Then there is the girl who sells music in the ten-cent store, followed by impressions of a number of women at a Wednesday afternoon ladies' club. Some were funny, the "mannish" woman being best. But a telephone bit was far above most of the others. It had a bride to be calling up her sweetheart and the same girl, now a wife, handing it to her hubby. There was a song finish, All of Miss Coleman's bits are brief. Her work holds more appeal to her sex than the sterner one. She dressed effectively in a black jet gown. On fourth she went fairly well.
