Dolly Kay, next to closing had a great chance to tie things in a knot, following, 30 minutes of Hermine Shone. Everything was all set for her, but she failed to reach out and grab it. Up to 10:35, when Miss Kay came on, the show was woefully lacking in “pep,” and if someone were going to happen right then was the time. But, no, the young lady with a boy at the piano started off acceptably, after which came a decided let down, due mostly to the material. Also Miss Kay’s method of delivery could be improved, as her immediate conception borders in coarseness, and some smoothing of the edges would help considerably. Her one feeble attempt with a dialect number was poorly done and would have been better left alone. It seems safe to say Miss Kay would do well if she’d get away from the snapping if fingers and using the “sharpshooer’s” idea of hoofing, sticking to straight number, as the ability is there if used right.
