51 min. There is no doubt that Miss Hoffmann has perfected her act since it was seen here last. It was a great hit in the previous occasion, but this time it showed such perfection and versatility that one cannot help becoming as enthusiastic as the audience certainly was this afternoon. The Blue Danube number was especially fine, and received big applause. In fact, every one of her numbers was well received, and each feature of the act seemed better than the previous one. Her various impersonations included Eddie Foy, Ethel Barrymore, George M. Chan, Eva Tanguay, Ruth St. Denis, Anna Held, Isadora Duncan, Harry Lauder, Valeska Surrat, Alice Lloyd and Eddie Leonard. Miss Hoffmann did not do the Kellermann stunt, although the Kellermann girls won an immense hand with their tank work and their comedy. This is certainly the greatest act in vaudeville, and it is amazing that Miss Hoffman has the endurance to stand the strain. An immense finish with masses of flowers, curtain-calls and a speech.
