Type:
With a company of 11 people, including good quartet of singers. James Whitcomb Riley’s poems “Good Bye Jim”, “That Old Sweetheart of Mine,” etc., are delivered by a bookworm, seated in a well appointed library, and they are illustrated by living pictures at the back. The act as a whole is a mighty good one, and would prove one of the most interesting and valuable of the big acts in vaudeville if Mr. Homan would expend a little money in securing an elocutionist to recite the poems. As it was the act was received here very well indeed. 24 min. FS.
