Miss Grace Wilson presents herself in a number of stunning gowns, complementing her handsome figure, with each change seemingly happening within an instant.
“One of the few women in vaudeville who really sing their songs, is Miss Wilson. She has a strong and melodious voice, and has selected songs best suited to her vocal gifts. The numbers are all character verse, varying in types and including a wide range.” She has kept the best of her songs, including “Many Different Ways to Say Good-Bye,” and after singing four songs was called back for five bows as each selection built up increasing applause. She finished then with “Lovely Joe,” transforming the song into an ideal “coon” love song by somehow managing to remove all sexual suggestion. “In this alone Miss Wilson displays talents which give her individuality among vaudeville singers. With other phases of her abilities displayed in four different types of verse and character, her cleverness is demonstrated beyond cavil. The Plaza audience was wildly demonstrative in appreciation.”
