[New Act] Songs, 6 mins; one. Irene Francis, a lusty brunet, displayed a strong voice from wings warbling a snatch of a ballad before entrance. Her routine is a straight singing one. She opened with “Peggy” with “Buddy” following, the climax of the number affording her a chance for a high register finish. That got something. She closed with “Someone is Waiting” and could have encored, but appeared content with her trio of songs. For number two on the three-a-day she serves well for Miss Frances has a voice well suited for ballads.
