Chief Blue Cloud is an Indian, from appearances a full blooded one, although speaking flawless English. He is assisted by a slender young woman, who like the chief, wears Indian garb throughout the act. A special landscape set, consisting of several hanging pieces, with a full-fledged tepee set to the right, makes an atmospheric back- ground for the specialties offered. Following a song by the woman, the chief does a routine with the lariat, handling it dexterously. Brief cross fire, leading up to another vocal number by woman, in which she introduces several extremely high notes, with the tones coming out clear and round… The chiefs roping and music, and the woman’s tuneful soprano make a combination of entertainment that certifies the turn for the pop houses, with the fact of the man being an Indian giving an added novelty value to the act. Opening the show at the Albermarle, they went over very well.
