Bert Howard and Leona Bland

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 23 min, full stage. In a new act, patterned after that of Moore and Littlefield, but not so good as the latter by any means, entitled, ‘The Stage Manager.’ Howard as an actor is a positive ‘shine,’ as he has a fat part but does not know how to get the most out of it. He wins out on his piano playing, as usual. Miss Bland does better work than probably anybody gave her credit for being capable of. Act is a good one but by no means great, and only went in spots with the audience.
