Imitations and singing.
Little Mignon did splendidly with her various imitations. Her Al Jolson number was not so well done, but her Leonard bit and the finishing dance of Granville were clever imitations. She just missed doing a remarkable imitation of Nan Halperin through doing the wedding march song too fast. The delightful bit of Miss Halperin's rendition of this number is that she makes little attempt at singing it, taking the tempo very slow and bringing out the effects through expression rather than voice. Miss Mignon gets very close to the original and with a little care she can make the Halperin bit a real classic.
