After intermission is Fay Marbe, recruited from the musical comedy stage. Here we have an attractive young woman with the bloom of youth, a beautiful figure, alluring costuming and a “rhapsodical” personality. She opens with an introductory recitative number, then a kissing song and dance, well worked up by the pianist; then a French dialect number, after which “I Want a Beau.” While making a costume change the accompanist entertains and she returns in a dress of black sequins with crimson headdress, a la Mexico, for an alluring Spanish song and a dance then another dance. The audience recalled her several times. A word of praise for her accompanist, Tom Tucker, who never takes his eyes off her for an instant, accentuating to a nicety the phrasing of her songs and properly emphasizing her terpsichorean efforts.
