Another turn that got over was Corrinne Tilton, a single who has fashioned an act so closely along the lines of Nan Halperin's first "cycle" that it will be called an imitation by everyone who knows the original, though Miss Tilton does not mention Miss Halperin's name. She will do very well where Miss Halperin is unknown, and will get over to a certain extent where she is, although in this act with its special material, the closing song, a bride number, contains some quite unnecessary suggestive lyrics, altogether away from the character of a sweet bridy girl. That let down the act at the Fifth Avenue, and will do the same for it in any other house of a nice clientele. Whether Miss Tilton herself has any real ability will be told when she tries for something of her own, and not in an act such as this where she is carefully copying someone else, and may have been as carefully coached for it.
