12 Mins.; One. Hope Vernon is a neatly dressed young woman who wears her hair in a braid. She has a sweet voice of high range, but no great volume, due perhaps to her practice of the violin imitations which follow her opening numbers. Miss Vernon takes a violin and bow and as she goes through the movements of playing, imitates the string notes with her voice. It’s cleverly done and fooled a lot of them at the Alhambra where Tuesday night her act was well received. In Miss Vernon’s favor is a splendid voice.
