25 min. For some reason or other Barry has never made any strong appeal to a Philadelphia audience and while she finished better this afternoon than she has before, she was still far from the hit the she is reputed to be in other cities. In my judgment, the chief reason for this is the length of time it takes her to do a song, as it took her twenty-five minutes this afternoon to do three numbers. Her first number just got by; her second number fared somewhat better, but she scored practically all of her applause in the last five minutes of her vaudeville revue.
