24 minutes in one. Songs. In fairness to the young lady, I hardly know what to day. She did not get in the theatre until Monday at 12 o’clock, being an emergency booking after we had lost three headliners in as many days. She started to rehearse and the rehearsal was very bad. This may be partly out fault because of the fact that our orchestra leader has been in bed two weeks threatened with appendicitis. I have never seen a poorer rehearsal. Miss Wynn did not seem to have a clear idea of just what she was going to sing or what she was going to do. The Tuesday morning newspapers roast her to a finish and say that she is not the girl that she used to be. Maybe the Booking Office is to blame for throwing her in here unexpectedly, maybe I am to blame for not having a competent musical director, and maybe the newspapers are to blame because they had to change their notices and ads three times in three days, also their Sunday layout and their photographs. I guess Baltimore next week will give everyone a better idea of just what she is doing at this time. (Baltimore)
