Bessie Hempel & Players

Location:
Theater:
Date:
18 min. Miss Hempel and her company of three are presenting a dramatic novelty, entitled, “Think You,” modeled after “Everywoman.” This is supposed to be a comedy act but failed to score many laughs this afternoon. While no fault can be found with the way it is played, the material is not there. It has no punch and is only mildly entertaining. Too much talk and too little action. I understand this is a new act and it may work into a better vehicle than it seemed to today, although it passed fairly well.
