Miss Franklin sang six songs with a costume change for each. She has chosen numbers verging upon the character variety, and all but the final two are unfamiliar. The arrangement is an odd one. Mr. Green occupies one side of the stage with the piano, filling in the time for Miss Franklin's costume changes with selections. He remains in the background, keeping the soft pedal on his part for the better exploitation of the young woman.
Six curtain calls at the end of a twenty-four-minute number is perhaps the most complimentary comment the audience could have made.
She makes herself popular at the outset by a pretty stage picture and with her clever handling of a series of descriptive and novelty songs keeps the act moving to a high degree of interest to the finish. A number named "Expression," illustrating human emotions by facial expressions, was altogether delightful, and without exception the songs were handled with an ex traordinary amount of skill.
