Nazimova

Location:
Theater:
Date:
34 min. In ‘War Brides.’ Vaudeville has never before had a dramatic sketch of the strength of this thrilling peace play, nor has any star from the legitimate stage given so forceful a piece of character acting as Mazimova exhibits in this play. It can well be said that the offering sets a new standard for vaudeville. The piece held the audience entranced during its action and at the finish the applause lasted several minutes. The act scored the biggest hit of any dramatic sketch ever presented here and will do so in any house.
