Leona Thurber and Blackbirds

Type:
2 shows, 13 min. in 1. This woman has four pickanninies with her, and although the act was a little slow in working up, it got them toward the finish and closed to good applause. Her picks are not quite as clever as Remingtons’, but the difference would hardly be perceptible to the audience.
