“The Happy Medium”: 23 min. F.S. Close in 1. On at 7:54. This act did not catch on after the good things gone before and had to be shifted up several pegs. In fact, it was right up to the finish before it really got the crowd. There is a lack of coherency in the act and the comedy is forced and often far-fetched. The dancing, trick piano playing and singing are not up to the standard. The girl appears in two changes of costume, but has no singing voice and relies on her sprightly dancing and repartee to please. The close in one was only fairly strong and the finishing hand likewise.
