Her present offering consists of a high-class ballad, a catchy little ditty with a stinger on the end, an Irish number, and a Scotch song for the finale.
Miss Burt will put over if proper intelligence is used in framing up the offering. Her opening number and costume should be discarded: the song is used by every straight singer on the small time and the dress is distracting from Burt's good looks. Her second number is very good and extremely well done. Her costume is an improvement on the opening dress, but is also of the glittering material. Her Irish number is not new and could be improved. However, the dance accompanying it is a big surprise. Miss Burt is a big woman and when she dances she displays the pleasing grace of a dancing soubret. The dance should be saved for the finale. Her costume for the Scotch number is becoming, but a prettier song of the whistling melody sort is needed. Miss Burt has a good voice and knows how to use it, getting a song over well. Her pleasing personality and dancing should surely land her in the safety class.
