A Bernard Shaw sketch.
How He Lied to Her Husband.
Audience was lethargic.
" It may have been the dissimilarity of the expressed ages of the characters and the stage appearance of the participants, or it may have been that the subtle sarcasm of Shaw flew over the vauderville head, or it may have been that the audience as one was in total ignorance of "Candida" or George Bernard Shaw, and possibly also Mr. Daly, but the truth remained that for a "headliner" in the continuous , Daly,his company and act lack weight."
" Daly's conception of the part is no gauged to the vaudeville standard, regardless of his legitimate reputation. There is no vaudeville "sketcher" who could not have conceived his character more acceptably."
