Luba Meroff plays her instruments garbed in tights.
Meroff begins her act by playing a selection of musical instruments. She begins with an operatic selection on the mandolin, which is much too long, before switching to the xylophone, on which she performs a short piece. She retires through the center of the blue plush drop while she sings and changes into a gown. She then performs an "audience song" and a "coon" song. She finished with a corking good Russian song and dance.
Her continental accents and voice are good. Her use of the plant in the "audience" number is not necessary. She will easily find a place in regular vaudeville with a little study of her act.
