15 min. F.S. Combination instrumental and vocal feature. Mlle. La Tosca makes a fine appearance and sings with good method, having the assistance of two young men, one with flute and piccolo, and the other with the ‘cello and organ. Open with Gounod’s “Ave Maria” (vocal by La Tosca); “Silver Bells” (piccolo); medley of old time songs (vocal and instrumental); “Asleep in the Deep” (cello, organ and piano) and closing with a Faust number. Each offering received a fair hand, but neither the selections themselves nor the manner of putting them over show that they thoroughly understand as yet the demands of a vaudeville audience. Went better with evening house.
