A young woman doing a spectacular drapery dance, and I agree with the other houses on the Circuit that she is very poor indeed. If I had got her first, I should have closed her or materially reduced he salary, but she was recommended to me very highly, and the act was booked with the idea that it was quite a big novelty. This only emphasizes the fact that all new acts should open in New York first, and I have endeavored to carry out that idea so far as possible, but once in a while circumstances are such that I have to send them elsewhere, and, of course, the people in the other houses are not thoroughly in touch with the circumstances on Monday and don’t know what to do. The act is not positively bad, but simply mediocre. 10 minutes, full stage.
