Miss Baker drew a genuinely cordial reception and then proceeded to completely tie up the show. She opened with “Shoulder Shakers” and followed with a Yiddish comic, “Sits Around the House.” A ballad was third. It was “Million Miles from Nowhere.” Her “wop” number brought as many laughs as though It were new. and she exited with “Just Wait ‘Till You See.” But the house hadn’t had near enough of the songstress. A second comedy Hebrew song was the first encore, it being “Every Bent Was There.” Sustained applause finally brought Miss Baker’s bowing to an end, and she asked what the house wanted. Instantly several persons called for “Ell- Eli,” the Hebrew chant. Her rendition again brought forth prolonged appreciation. Miss Baker finally withdrew with a speech of thanks.
