The Harlem audience seemed to like Miss Arcaro, although there would have been very little complaint had the signboards been shifted three minutes earlier.
The program calls it a "pianologue," but in the strict sense, is hardly that. The piano is employed enly in the first two numbers, the first a straight selection which showed the artiste to be a performer of average ability on the instrument. In the second, she accompanies herself while rendering a song of no especial merit. After this Miss Arcaro hands out a monologue mostly
about subway trains in which she employed a comedy method of the "Put-your-hand-on-your-hip, and murmur, 'Well-for-goodness-sake' " brand, that is the essence of chorus girls' comedy—off the stage.
