"Gertrude Hoffman Revue."
In sections the specialty bears the earmarks of revamping, but the general idea is suggestive of former season. It remains, however, a big vaudeville production, notable for its speed. The principals in support include Julia Carle, Lee Chapin and Enrico Muris, the latter a tango dancer. Miss Carle is an attractive individual, but aimed rather high in a dramatic effort to offer the prologue of "Zobedie's Dream," one of the original scenes of the revue. The others are the subway scene, the Gaby Deslys travesty and the Moulin Rouge bit, the finale being centered around an impression of Isadora Duncan's dance. Miss Hoffman also impersonates Foy and Lauder, adding her short effort in the orchestra pit. To uphold her reputation for progressiveness Miss Hoffmann will have to modernize the affair around current impressions.
