Clara’s “version” had been a
series of gestures with the arms, aimless
in their delivery but serving to bring out
that Miss Berg had on a union suit. But
when St. John arrived upon a tin plate
Clara got right down to business while
the orchestra started in with “Cavaleria
Rusticana.” Miss Berg whirled about the
stage as though undecided whether to do
a “cooch” or dance. She compromised by
doing neither.
