"Love in the Park" and "Jealous of Me."
Frances Kennedy for several years threatened to overtake the odds-on leaders in the
vaudeville race. Now she has done it. She can no longer be held as a runner-up to the field after the speed she showed here Monday. She was a massacre. Having thrown away every syllable of the routine she used when last here, she had no slack spots at all. With two exceptions her numbers are exclusive, and two of them, "Love in the Park* and "Jealous of Me," are vaudeville masterpieces. Her card-party monolog convulsed the audience. Her gowns were sensational. In no minor or major element or detail was she missing or short of the ultimate. It was a headline performance, spectacle and effect throughout.
