The act was fifteen minutes long.
Vera Michelena is from musical comedy and was featured in “Alma”. She opens with a song from “Alma” and continues with “Beautiful Dream”. She does another song and finishes with an Oriental number that is infused with rag. She begins in a purple gown and wears several becoming caps with her other costumes. The costume in the Oriental number has a slit up the side so high that she may as well be wearing tights.
"Beautiful Dream"
Michelena has a soothing voice, which is a quality much appreciated but seldom heard in vaudeville. She has a classy big time single act.
