Gus Edwards’ ‘New Song Revue’

44 min. The act has been entirely reconstructed for this season, all the numbers and the general routine being different from that used last year. Specialties are introduced by Sally Seely, a double-voiced vocaliste, Little Georgie and other members of the company, including Gus Edwards himself who takes the central figure in the principal song hits. With elaborate dressing and stage setting, the act makes its usual picture and as a closing act of a very lively show, ‘The Song Revue’ held the audience seated and after winning individual favor with the various numbers, was given a big round of applause at the final curtain. Unfortunately, Gus Edwards has a severe cold and did not show to his usual advantage, but his company made up for any of his shortcomings vocally.
