Singing, comedy song.
"Winter Nights," "Safety First," and "Just a Little Love."
A find for vaudeville now, with its lack of real good single singing women. Miss Stevens has a splendid voice and with it, knowledge of how to get songs over properly for vaudeville. The girl presents an appearance that with pass with the best. "Winter Nights" makes a dandy opening number for her. It is followed by a new comedy number, "Safety First." The lyrics are rather on the burlesque show order and though delivered excellently by Miss Stevens she might replace it with something more dainty or with safer comedy. For the third number, Miss Stevens sings "Just a Little Love," to show her voice off to its best advantage, and the experiment worked out in corking good style. Finishing with an Irish popular song. Miss Stevens scored a well deserved hit. When getting along she should try a change with each number. In her case it might help a lot.
