De Haven Sextette with Sidney Gibson

Location:

To avoid argument with Mrs. DeHaven managers are cautioned to feature Gibson as strongly a the Sextette. Unfortunately I did not receive the billing until late and got Gibson’s name as Shields. Hence, several unpleasant interviews with the lady who owns the act. I consider this act the best Mrs. DeHaven has ever put over in vaudeville and the act will be a big feature novelty of any program. The girls are gingery in their work, look well and are dressed better than any girl act in the business. Usually “girl” acts look well but that is about all. This one delivers the good and I would be glad to play any more than can halfway approach this one. Gibson is a good light comedian and his singing and dancing are features in themselves. Own cut drop, with house garden backing, full stage. 22 min. close in 1, 6 min.
