Miss Whistler’s turn has a jazz band setting, though the routine of songs hardly explains why. At the opening she had a lyric mentioning the individual musicians. After that the singer offered numbers of the ballad school, the band accompanying, also, having two numbers of their own. The cornet is displayed clarity and power in one of them. The pianist announced Miss Whistler, who is a tall, good-looking auburn type, in a medley of her musical comedy successes, meaning the songs she formerly had in production. This was offered for the finale. The act closed the show well, but minus the kick needed for the better houses. It was overtime for the spot.
