Mr. Tannen guarantees, by his presence before the footlights, returns to the management, and is a valuable act in vaudeville by reason thereof. This week he is using talk not before heard, added to which is his lightning wit at improvisation. Mr. Tannen was obliged to offer a short speech for the pacification of a handful of persons in the auditorium, remaining undiscovered to others on the same program.
He is a storyteller, entitled to rank in the blue ribbon class, and as an impersonator, in some of his impersonations, holds the only distinction of that color given out in his class. Tannen has divided his act into departments or compartments. When he leaves the stage you are mentally undecided whether you like the impersonator or the monologist. From the laughter, it is the former; from the applause, the latter.
