Pat Rooney & Emma Francis

Location:
Date:
I was just a little disappointed in this act for it seemed to me that they have gone backward instead of advancing. The act is not, of course, a bad act at all; in fact, it is a good one, but at the figure they are getting it seems to me it should go much stronger than it appeared to be this afternoon. Rooney’s eccentric dancing is very clever indeed and the woman is a good dancer and a clever acrobat and the whole act was cordially received, but it somehow failed to meet my expectation, more especially at the price. 11 minutes, open full stage, and close in one.
