Dora Ronca

Type:
The first part of Miss Ronca’s act fell decidedly, but she managed to pull up at the finish with her ‘Dixie’ and patriotic music; not because any part of her playing was good but because of the roll of her eyes and gyrations of her body. From the standpoint of a musician, Miss Ronca is exceptionally bad as a violinist. If Mr. Mascgani should hear her play his Intermezzo I think he would have her arrested, but she catches to get away all right, but I hate to hand her the money. 12 min. in 1, 3 shows. I don’t care to use her in Southbridge or Norwich.
