‘Cellist. 12 min. in one. Assisted by Edmund Lichtenstein, who conducts the orchestra during the act. She is a wonderful performer on this instrument, but rendered only the classical. Went only fair at Sunday matinee on this account. They were induced to play “Annie Laurie” as an encore Sunday night, but it didn’t help the act so far as the audience was concerned. This selections, and loss heavy stuff, would be better. There is too much classical work by special musicians in this house. People come here to see vaudeville, and not to attend a symphony concert.
