The early half of the bill proved a succession that brought out little in an applause way, and nothing was started until "Bon Voyage," with Jimmie Gildea featured, closed intermission. The turn is regarded as very good in the pop houses, but that must be on Gildea's performance, for the balance isn't up to the other girl acts by any means. It is loosely held together and poorly staged. The chorus is in five numbers instead of the regular six, and the girls hardly show to advantage. They attempt a Spanish dance after Gildea's funny "Senor Gazabo" song, and irregularly attempt to use castinets. Either they should be taught how to use the Spanish clappers or discard them altogether. Gildea should have little trouble in doing a single.
