Miss Howard fared only fairly until she got down to her Charlie Chaplin impersonation, which consumed about three minutes of her time and which got her considerable applause. The rest of her work is very mediocre, and “smacks” somewhat of burlesque. Taking into consideration entirely her reception by the audience, she is about worth what I pay her. I am getting her at a special figure, which is $75 less than her regular contract price. I am afraid that those managers who pay her more than I do will be imposed upon. 17 minutes in one.
