Jed’ is Golden’s standard character. Katherine Kittleman played the wife of Whiteman Mott and it did not work as “her husband being very young, and it militated against their scened together, hurting the effect.”
“there is action to out action vaudeville” but “legitimate comedy” not slapstick. Skit about a man who suspects his friend is impersonating his stepmother to play a trick on him. He “commits assault and battery upon the real step mother under the impression that she is a masquerader”
Miss Barbaretto should not “overwork” her face “a little facial expression goes a long way and a lot becomes interminable”.
Fiske plays a “tough”; Miss McDonough is “horribly affected as the society matron”; she is “entirely off-key”
No “ravishing beauty”: she wears a mask and “a near view of the lower part of her face makes one joyed that the upper is shut from view”. The “feature is really the mask”.
the 6 sisters do Chinese dances and finish with a Hungarian dance “entirely devoid of the fire and abandon that are the chiefest charms of this style of dance.”
