19 Mins.; One. Just back from London. Grace LaRue opened her American bookings on short notice in Boston and while she went big, it was more her name than any particular originality in the act that sent it over as well as it went. She uses six numbers and is well gowned. Any shortcomings in her numbers are more than offset by her steps, which have increased materially in grace during her absence abroad. She has “Art” and “My Little Gray Home in the West,” “I’d Do It All Over Again,” “Love and Springtime,” “The Tango Dream” and “Panamala.” The welcome absence of any vocal acrobatics together with the addition of a new side of her singing, and of that plaintiveness, helped materially and her “Solitaire Tango” also scored. Europe has helped Miss Larue wonderfully.
