19 min. Being called in one day’s notice to replace Evelyn Nesbitt as the headliner of the bill, Miss Irwin put over one of the biggest hits of the show. She was given a tremendous reception on her entrance and the audience never stopped liking her, She sang three new songs each of which scored, and told several stories that brought outbursts of laughter. Her act was a hit from start to finish.
