“Girl Act.” 15 minutes, X. X. ON at 9.40. This act was a positive hit from the very start, and works up to a splendid finish, with 3 curtain calls. It opens in 1-1/2, with a pretty interior, with the six girls in pantalette costumes, stepping out of a tasty drop. Sprightly songs and dances follow. Then comes the Modist’s Emporium scene, the girls slipping out of smaple costumes, hanging on the wall. More pretty songs, and then the act proceeds to the full-stage finish, which is a garden act and literally a bower of blossoms. The girls take their seats in the chairs, strapping themselves in. Nellie Florede sits in the swing, attired in a natty man’s suit. The rocking-chair song is very catchy, while the girls make complete backward revolution in the chairs, which are lighted by incandescent lamps. The effect is very novel and beautiful. One of the best finishes to a girl-act ever seen in Vaudeville. It will be talked about for the balance of the week, and carries out my predictions of the success of the act when I saw it in Wilmingon some weeks ago, since which time it is immensely improved.
