22 minutes, full stage. George Ade’s comedy “The Mayor and the Manicure”. This act is getting many laughs—going very well indeed. Mr. Barbour’s methods have lifted all dignity and tone bodily from the act. It now resembles a negro act. The supporting company is wretched. “Family affairs” whould [sic] be eliminated from vaudeville. The gentleman’s daughter is the ingénue and is awful.
