Gertrella “Maid if the Rhine”:

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
14 min.  Open in 1, close F.S. 2 shows.  On at 7:16. Carries her own drop which helps the act.  Appears in very affective costume and sings two songs very indifferently.  She then proceeds to the part of her act on the trapeze.  This is good and gets repeated applause and a very good finish, with a curtain call.  She should be limited to the single song number in the opening of her act, as the soubrette part of her work is not up to the gymnastics.
