With the exception of some good vocal work by the Trio, an excellent bass solo by Mr. Beaudry, and a creditable dance by Miss Elgin, a very ordinary performance is this final offering of Homan’s Musical Revue. There seems to be a big following here for Mr. Gene Beaudry, who is truly an excellent bass soloist. This town is largely French and the French, as everyone knows, are very clannish; Mr. Beaudry, himself of French extraction, is looked upon here as a little idol. This fact would account in no small measure for the business done; Then again, the fact of 15 people for 10cents, they are getting much for their money; They notice the strength of the company numerically, more than artistically. And the pictures during the last two weeks have been exceptionally good and thanks to Mr. Reddy some of the three-reel features haveelicited [sic] volumes of praise from many of our patrons.
