Georgie White

He offered what might be termed a new addition of his dance revue. There is a new opening and finish. At the start George in "tux" instead of white flannels delivers a lyric admitting that he can dance opera better than he can sing it. That gives an excuse for the separate entrances of the girls, each dancing a bit with White. Lois Leigh was "Miss Butterfly," Dorothy St. Clair pranced to "La Boheme," Ethel Delmar was "Carmen," and "Tot Qualters hoofed to a "Faust" air. The only thing operatic was the music. The 'Dr. Two Step" portion still remains, but the idea of the finish was to "make some Greek dancing," labelled as "esthetic jazz." This had the girls in crinoline and the jazz part was 'shimmy." White and his act have been in New York for most of the season, and the changes make the turn fresh enough the practically stick around for the rest of it. He is still collecting cigars for the Frisco imitation, is always in with the request numbers, and he also drew at least a dozen packets of cigarettes which he said he'd send to the soldiers. Maybe he meant the stage hands.
