The act was fifteen minutes long.
Mabel Berra sings original songs and performs in tights. She has supposedly just returned from a “Continental Triumph”, perhaps in France or Germany based on her costume and makeup. She imitates Trentini, sings to some “plants” in the audience, and does a “kid” number. She changes costume several times and conspicuously shows off her right leg.
"That Loving Mocking Bird Trill"
"The house fell for the Woolworth Building singing, and probably appreciated the Hamburg flash, but Mabel monkeyed with her applause and nearly lost an encore."
Berra needs a few new numbers so she can eliminate her first and second songs. The "kid" song is badly done because she does not wear a costume to match.
