Singing comedienne. 21 minutes in 1. This young lady stopped the show. At Monday’s matinee the audience became hysterical and we carried out one man and one woman. Both of these had “over-laughed,” and we were compelled to apply such restoratives as we have had on hand for emergency sickness. Regardless of the commotion caused by carrying out the 250 pound man on the main floor and in the center of the house, Miss Shaw continued her songs and the audience refused to let her leave the stage. She made six bows after her final song at the matinee and eight in the evening. (Boston)
