An unknown, named Alice Hamilton, dropped into the bill in place of Miss Juliet and walked off with a great hit. The contrast in the little woman's make-up and the material she uses is wonderful. It is a great idea along different lines and puts Miss Hamilton into the hit class right away. There was no mention on the program where she came from or whether she is new or old in vaudeville, but with a make-up like Jean Adair in "Maggie Taylor-Waitress" and a line of slang that would shame many a burlesque comedian, added to her quaint way of telling it. Alice Hamilton made herself a surefire vaudeville favorite.
