Opening the second part was Peggy Brooks, a single with an emphatic, incisive manner of delivering her songs. She pantomimes well, in addition to putting over her numbers in shipshape fashion, and is a whole lot better than many female singers in the two-a-day, but stamps herself in smalltimer by interpolating “facetious” remarks and growing familiar with her audiences. Somebody could take this girl, supply her with exclusive numbers, teach her the value of “class” and, with booming, put her over for the big time. She is a “riot” in the three-a-day and is probably satisfied to let it go at that.
