12 Mins., Full Stage (Special Set). The Dancing Mars, three in number, two female and one male, have a neat and rather refined dancing specialty, but one hardly heavy enough to hold down a big time position. They opened at the Colonial and just barely reached an encore. The act is composed of a young boy and girl who hardly look over their teens, with a third (woman) filling it at the opening and finale. The appearance is excellent throughout, the boy displaying two changes, sailor suit and evening clothes, while the others make several changes during the action, which is set with special scenery. There is nothing exceptional to the dances and at times the routine seems disjointed. They could fill a small time spot and get away nicely. But the speed is a bit fast in the two-a-day. The boy is limber-legged enough to suggest a production, but otherwise it’s merely a passable number, scenery and all considered.
