"the Majestics" There are eight
chorus men in the company of forty-eight
or so. Chorus men, too, who act like
human beings, sing as well as an average
male quartet and dress like the Broadway musical comedy kind. Acts include "Americans in Paris", "I'm
Thirsty All the Time", "Fitz in the Evening Dress". Principles included Joe and Edith Hollander, Marie Hartman, Roy Cummings, Edith Shaw, Anna Meek, Ernest and Clara Rackett, Miss Faye, The Peerless Quartet. Evelyn Walker did extremely well in
the same act, singing "The Best of Friends
Must Part".
The proceedings at no time become
oppressively polite, the aim seemingly being
to keep up a swift pace of alternating
comedy "bits," brilliant numbers and stage
pictures and picturesque incidents. There is not a jarring note in the
big chorus effects, and the finale was a
revelation in ensemble singing.
