52 min. Greatest vaudeville act in the business, in my estimation, barring none. It has all the elements of variety—high-class music, classic dancing, spectacular features, caricature—indeed, an abundance of everything that appeals to all parts of a house. Held the interest of the audience intensely through as no other act ever presented on this stage, to my recollection. Here is a woman who does not merely two or three things well, but accomplishes the seeming miracle of taking a dozen different parts one after another with perfectly amazing fidelity, and never falling down in a single detail. Nothing more need be said about this act than to confirm the New York reports and there is no doubt of its rousing success after the enthusiasm of today.
