33 min. “A Musical World Revue.” Howard has built up a production in four scenes around the last two-act he presented in vaudeville with Miss Clark as the principal support, the remainder of the company include a male quartet and a group of colored singers and dancers. Several of Howard’s well known song compositions are featured in numbers with scenic and costume effects and the closing scene is an elaborate spectacle with a patriotic number and a rainstorm effect featured. The production was not seen at its best, numerous waits caused by the fouling of drops slowing it up and handicapping it considerably. The music is catchy, there is plenty of action and despite the poor performance, it was given a good hand. When working smoothly, it should make a satisfactory production.
