"The Hypnotic Kiss."
Beth Stone and Frank Hughes appear to have attempted to frame a dancing turn somewhat after the style of Adelaide and Hughes (J. J. J.) when the latter played in "The Barnyard Romeo" on the American Roof. Miss Stone tries a little toe dancing, and Mr. Hughes has apparently tried to follow his brother in dancing as well. The Stone-Hughes act is labeled "The Hypnotic Kiss." That must have been something of the past, since it did not come out at the Henderson showing Monday evening, nor did much else, excepting wasted time in the couple talking explanatory rhyme before the final dance, a simple little affair not strong enough to draw an encore, if the couple had such a thing prepared. The entire act seems unfinished and amateurish, but the two persons through their youth and with a routine laid out for them might accomplish something in time if they will agree not to talk on the public rostrum. Opening the Henderson show the did not hing and at present are only lined up for the small time.
