Dutch singer Adeline Genee has, “beyond any question of doubt, the greatest dancing speciality that has ever been offered in a vaudeville house in this country.” Miss Genee, her eight background dancers, her male assistant, and their talented orchestra brought a show that “should have drawn the large audience out of their seats with cheers. Instead the audience sat quietly, with no sign of enthusiasm. One can’t blame the English when saying the American public has no eye for aught but gaudy colors and no ear for anything but noisy blare.” “If American vaudeville audiences will not enthuse over Genee, they will over no one.” “Her work is so far superior to anything shown by the troupe that Percy Williams brought here under the name of “Russian Dancers” that there is no comparison.
