2 shows, 32 min. full stage. Got an enthusiastic round of applause when he came on the stage. His one-act comedietta bears out the Detroit critic’s endorsement that it is “the classic of vaudeville” in its class. Of course, Mr. Hawtrey’s comedy was delightful, and I cannot agree with other critics who have animadverted on his support. The lady who plays the part of the widow is quite English and speaks with the sort of dialect that the majority of citizens of this country are not accustomed to and consequently condemn without knowing. The act will be a bigger hit here possibly than elsewhere. After another week in vaudeville, Mr. Hawtrey again goes out in “A Message from Mars.”
