"They sing and dance, play the violin and piano, and do just what you'd expect regular frown people to do in a Gus Edwards act."
"The act is just what its name says it is--a cabaret of embryo Mansfields, Irvings, Fays, and Cohans, with a few Marlowes, Tanguays, Bernhardts, and Friganzas thrown in." "Edwards is stamped all over the affair--even his son takes a prominent part in it--and since he always goes big in Washington, it is natural that his output finds favor."
"The act is a decided hit."
"Gus Edwards' Kid Kabaret makes this week's bill at Chase's decidedly worth while. It headlines the bill as a bill should be headlines--something that cannot be said of all headliners."
