A slow, draggy bill that played to a full house, with only one notably bright spot, Dave Vine and Luella Temple. This team comes back to the Rialto every season, but could play here every few months and do better each time. They were reviewed last week at McVicker’s where they kept the audience in a turmoil of laughter, but what they did here was a shame. They were greeted with an ovation like A. Jolson would receive. Vine on his opening told several Jewish gags that seemed to strike the crowd’s funnybone, and from there they had easy sailing. Miss Temple, a sweet plump doll, won admiration on looks and voice, and though she sang “After You’ve Gone,” an old ballad, she put it over with a tremendous success. Here’s a team ready to headline all small time houses and ripe for the two-a-day.
