Miss Preston did surprisingly well at
the close with a "Salome" song (having
a bully orchestration). She followed that
with a burlesque "Salome" dance, announcing
it as an imitation of Maud Allen.
These two items were a large hit,
which did not seem possible after Miss
Preston sang "Maggie Schneider," a song
("Dutch" with clogs). She should have
been advised against that for over here.
Her opening number is pretty, and "I
Love a Laddy" (a reply to Lauder's "Lassie")
scored. Miss Preston is strong as
an impersonator of Lauder.
