Singing and stories.
Estella Sully deserves credit for trying, but that's all. Miss Sully's act is totally inadequate. She has scraggly, lack-lustre material which doesn't measure up to her own rather colorful personality. She sings published numbers, and those not new ones. She tells stories, which begin, "I was sitting in a street car the other day, and I noticed an Irishwoman next to me talking to another Irishwoman. 'Phawt d'ye think, Mrs. Murphy?' the first Irishwoman said." At this point quite a number of people indicated they didn't care so much what the second Irishwoman said. They walked out.
