Louise Gunning was No. 4 and Bobby O’Neill with “Four Queens and a Joker” closed the first part.
The O’Neill turn is a model of speed and varied specialty in an act of this sort. The brightness of the stage picture, with its golden tones, hits the audience at the rise of the curtains, and from that moment to the finale there is an unbroken succession of surprises and snappy material that holds unflagging interest. The poker bit, with the versified give and take of smart chatter, is a capital bit of comedy and the gossip incident with the three girls is another. Between these high spots there are costume changes and diversified episodes that build up an especially diverting twenty minutes.
