"The Little Goddess" is a sort of revised dream sketch used by Emmet De Voy combined with a sketch by Claude Gillingwater, entitled "The Awakening of Minerva." Hermine Shone played the daughter of Venus in the Emmett De Voy act, but she has much more to do now that she is not simply a member of the cast. Harmon McGregor has the "fat" role, playing the husband.
Miss Shone's position shows her as a comedienne of great ability. McGregor is not all that he should be in the lighter moments. He misses several laughs that Emmett De Voy was wont to get when playing the role. He does well in the "straighter" portions though. Mr. Wahl, playing the valet, will also have to improve in the humor department in order to make the act the laughing affair it strives for. Alice Magill and Mrs. Joe Robinson fill the supporting roles well. The act does well over all, but still needs bolstering up.
