Elsie Janis

She did impressions of Harry Lauder "playing the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet", and Ethel Barrymore "singing 'Hello Frisco'".
She drew two full-house shows at the Palace. Matinee attendance broke house records.
Many of her impressions were "a model of mimicry" that is well-worth her praise. Her imitations of men are superior to those of women.
