"Scribner's Big Show", featuring Lillian English. Clara Raymond sang "Somebody Ought to Tell Her Husband", and sang "Harvest Moon" with William Maussey. They also sang "If I Could Gain the World by Wishing".
"The Lovin'
Kid " sung by John Lorenze, was nicely
blended. The first part is "Tourists in Egypt,"
retaining "the Mummy" of Falardo and
the specialty of John Lorenze, "The Crazy
Musician," during which Mr. Lorenze has
an eccentric dance with a wonderful step,
causing bewilderment aa to how the balance
is maintained during the execution.
His piano work and comedy, assisted by
Mr. Mausey, was nothing short of a "riot." With the exeeption of the
"salaam" and "bug" bits, the fun has been
derived from old timers. The burlesque was "The Carnival of
Venice". Jean Bedini also stars.
Tuesday night at the Murray Hill, the
house was sold out, and the comedians
made the audience (containing at least
2OO- women) laugh continually to the last
minute, without causing the most modest
of the gentler sex a suspicion of a blush.
With the "Big Show" now, the pieces
are lively and fast running, excepting a
sag at the opening of the first part. This ought to be closed up, but H is
not so readily noticeable as the drag In
the olio caused by too many acts, including a couple which should, not be there at all. One is the Columbia Musical Quintet.
