In a new act entitled, ‘A Chinese Idyl.’ Opens in one with a song by Miss Gassman and a song by one of the pickaninies. This section of the act lacks life. Act then goes to special full stage set carried by Miss Gassman and the ‘Chinese Idyl’ is presented. This consists of Miss Gassman and two pickaninies dressed as Chinese, doing a singing and dancing act. Just about strong enough for this spot. Open in one, special set in 5. 15 minutes.
