Georgie Price

Impersonations of vaudeville stars.

First to score was Georgie Price, on fourth, and a decided favorite who came near stopping things. Georgie has changed his turn somewhat since last playing the house. He appeared without the accompanist, and he also left out the funny Fannie Brice imitation, the latter excision probably being on account of his hurried doubling at the Riverside to fill the vacancy left by Van and Schenck stepping out of that show.
