"Dixie is Dixie Once More" and "Mammy o' Mine."
The 23d Street is not particularly partial to single women. Marie Russell, however, proved an exception to the rule, holding 'em all the way with a nicely arranged routine of rag songs and ballads. "Dixie is Dixie Once More" and "Mammy o' Mine," two of the bright spots of her repertoire, gathered in the biggest applause rewards. The chocolate colored make-up gives the act a touch of novelty, but Miss Russell should go in heavier for the coon dialect or else work in white face and forget the character thing. A violinist in the pit in addition to lending a competent hand in the songs, also slipped across a well played solo, while Miss Russell was making a change.
