Illus. songs. 18 min. in 1, 3 shows. On at 7:30. This act improves with each engagement, but Diamond’s voice deteriorates. The pictures are brilliantly colored and inspiring in theme. The fire picture and the war picture, both brilliantly done, and moving films, got strong hand. The finish was prolonged applause. This act represents the perfection of illustrated song-picture idea which is being a little overdone of late, but in nowise as brilliantly as these people who would make good anywhere in the early two-a-day section. Although the pictures are the thing, they should get a new soloist who has some expression to his voice and doesn’t sing through his nose.
