She
is offering more of a singing monolog.
The talk is introduced with a reason and
the different parts hold together. She
gives an idea of a tough boy trying to tell
his pal a few bits of American history.
The talk has virtue, if only in the fact
that it is away from the hackneyed stories
and gags that have been repeated until
they ‘bag at the knee.
While the talk is
good, singing is her forte. She has a
voice that is right at home with a coon
song. Although her first number fits her
perfectly, it is rather old, and something
of a little later vintage should be secured.
A bit of a fool Irish song was very nicely
handled. Just at present the Scotch seems
to be the thing.
It was a Scotch number
that made Miss Maitland a hit. It would
be well to say also that Miss Maitland
made "Highland Mary" a hit with the
Monday night audience.
Miss Maitland
looks well on the stage even against the
handicap of an unbecoming gown. Vaudeville
should come to like Miss Maitland.
