On at 4.12, 21 min, in 1. Am delighted to state that Miss De Mar made a most empathic success this afternoon. She seemed to be the pivotal point in this week’s program, the show either falling of standing through her success or failure, as she is billed as the headliner. She certainly possesses magnetism, dresses beautifully, and has some excellent exclusive songs, particularly ‘Amateur Night’ and ‘Lonesome Fluffy Ruffles.’ She sang four songs this afternoon, but as we have an excess of time this week we have cut her down to her three sure-fire hits: the two before mentioned and ‘Sweetheart Jo,’ with its novel rain effect. Her first song this afternoon, ‘The Kind of Girls Men Like,’ is all right and she sings it well, but she doesn’t need it this week.
