She had several costumes, most of which matched the songs.
Her best songs were those written by Blanche Merrill.
"When Priscilla Hits High C" "If We Could Only Take Their Word" "The Yiddish Bride" "Becky's Back in the Ballet"
The audience applauded until she returned to give some small talk.
"She is a real singing comedienne, but that doesn't account for the Palace program saying Fannie Brice is 'the funniest woman in vaudeville'".
