15 people. This is a one-act version of Cohan’s three act musical comedy, produced by Arthur Klein and J.M. Welsh, the latter general manager of the Cohan and Harris enterprises. Vaudeville, in this act, has a musical comedy that will be a headline novelty in any house in the country. It is full of comedy, the songs are catchy, the girls are pretty and the dancing by Rosie Green is a feature in itself. For 35 minutes this afternoon the act had the audience screaming with laughter at the ludicrous mixups. The cast is good, with possibly one exception—the man playing Benjamin Curtis. I do not know whether it was nervousness over first performance by Wm. F. Ryan, who plays the part, does not get his lines over intelligently. As the act depends for its success upon rapidity of action I think it would be well for the owners of the act to make a change in this character as soon as possible. Own set in 3. Time 35.
