The Japanese Revue is a combination singing, dancing and scenic spectacle, employing six girls and a man, who works a lamp producing electrical effects from the orchestra pit. The act has an attractive opening, which establishes it immediately. Four of the girls’ heads are thrust through as many holes in a large fan, the fan being embroidered on a drop in “one.” The fan is orange and the body of the drop black. The girls comprise a singing quartet, the turn starting with an ensemble number, which is tunefully sung, good lighting accentuating the color values of the scenic background. Full stage scene next, with Jap scenery, possessing a dash of the futuristic. The female quartet have another inning here, likewise the fifth and sixth members of the troupe, respectively a poser and dancer.
