"She first plays a rhapsody, drifts off to a rag medley, and during the latter is once more assisted by Yoska, who by this time has become a violinist in his second charge."
She is a "Gypsy Cimbalist."
"Irene Bercseny is not the first to play the Hungarian cimbal or piano over here, though Irene has a prettier instrument than the others. Hers is rosewood, but not as musical, although Irene herself may be responsible for the difference in sound."
"B. Yoska is named as her assistant... When the Hunagarianness appears to play the instrument, B.Y. walks in with two sounders on a sofa cushion. He does the dip as he hands the pillow over to where Irene can reach without extending herself."
"As a straight musical turn the act is ordinary."
