Sophie Tucker

The act was sixteen minutes long. Sophie Tucker returns to vaudeville after a season in a successful musical comedy. She sings several new songs including “rags” and wears a “gorgeous but unexplainable gown”. She is accompanied by an excellent violinist.
"The Alligator Glide"; "My Georgie Rose"; "Snap Your Fingers and Away We Go"; "Mr. Dream Man"
She did not need the disclaimer about her affected vocal condition, because it sounds just as good as it usually does. She returns to vaudeville with none of her former peculiar personality, abundant magnetism, or ability to put over a rag number. "Vaudeville perfected Sophie Tucker for musical comedy, but her prosperous career in that field seems to have decreased her vaudeville chances."
