"Couplets Du Mysoli."
Every act came in for its share of appreciation excepting the headliner, Miss Phyllis Neilson-Terry, who overstayed her allotted time with the rendition of two poems, applauded more for their delivery. Miss Terry is singing threee numbers in a yellow spot light in full stage. Her nonchalance and lack of action in delivery detracts from the result. Only the high notes in the "Couplets Du Mysoli" bring any interest. For a headliner Miss Terry is asking the audience to take too much for granted with too little effort in putting over her material.
