Monday night's audience held her on the stage forty-two minutes in the face of evident fatigue and a disinclination to remain on duty, insisted upon "Poor John" after she had gone through her newer repertoire, and would not be refused.
Vesta Victoria still tops the bill. This English comedienne has a remarkable hold upon the American public, at least so far as it is represented in the metropolis. In some way her art eludes analysis and classification. It is not altogether due to her curious comic songs that she has been whirled to success on the wave of that will-o'the-whisp—popular fancy. The home-bred serio-comic has offered us as good and faded away over night. Perhaps it's her wholesomeness and robustness of humor that has won us to her.
