Ventriloquy and yodeling.
Grace De Winters has a new act that makes an impression and is more up to the minute than her former one. One or two sections need trimming, but the general resume is that Miss De Winters has a ventriloquial vehicle that should stand her in good service for some time. A girl ventriloquist is something of a novelty in itself, although Miss De Winters is not a new-
comer. In her present turn, she appears as a bellboy paging the dummy. Then follows an exchange of talk, with the dummy, overdressed, shedding his clothes by turns and dressed to represent in succession. Harry Lauder, Raymond Hitchcock, with Miss De Winters closing with yodeling number that brought her big returns. Miss De Winters, sitting in the specially draped big chair, as she works the dummy in the closing period, having changed to
feminine attire, displays splendid showmanship and it help) her score.
