"Mary and Her Hats" and "Nellie's Comeback."
Miss Nordstrom is following the same style in her work in "Let's Pretend," but her sister Frances may have written new material; at least it seemed so. She opened with "Mary and Her Hats," a good novelty, following the plaint of a wife who wanted a divorce because her husband played poker and then went to sleep when she tried to "call" him. The bit is in verse and cleverly done. "Nellie's Comeback," via the introduction of war songs and how hubby is taught to dance in dramatics and on the level, completed her 19 minute routine. Miss Nordstrom is wearing what looks like a foreign diplomatic decoration dangling from a neck ribbon.
