23 min. F.S. It is almost impossible to do this wonderful artiste full time justice in describe the act she is doing this year. Her dancing this time surpasses anything she has presented in the past and to say that she was a hit is hardly giving her full credit. Each dance scored individually and she closed to a veritable riot of applause which was shared Lester Sheehan, her dancing partner, and the Clayton Sextette of musicians who played music for her dancing and enlivened the waits between numbers by some snappy, up-to-date music. Miss Clayton’s act is probably vaudeville’s greatest dancing hit.
