2 men, 1 woman. Special elaborate full stage setting. Time 22. “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s story. From a vaudeville point of view, the offering lacks essential action. It is eppigramatical [sic] and talky, yet the lines are extremely brilliant and strike home when they are caught by the audience. But I personally think that much of the material went “over their heads.” The piece is splendidly acted and altogether delightful entertainment. An undoubted novelty for vaudeville.
