Empire City Four

Date:
31 min. in 1. 2 shows. On at 9:56. Advance hand. Three work straight, one in Hebrew character, with only slight make-up. This is undoubtedly one of the very best quartettes in Vaudeville. Every one of the voices is good enough for solo work, and their ensemble singing is a treat. More than that, the comedy part is very original and keeps the crowd in roars of laughter. The finishing feature, in which the Hebrew comedian gets the audience singing, ‘Bye, Bye, Dearie’ with the aid of stereoptican [sic] and screen, was rich enough in humor to rob it of its advertising objections, although it is a great adv. For Von Tilzer.
