Travesty singing.
It was just 11:05 when Marie Dressler stepped out on the rostrum, following "Hands Across the Sea," which ran for 83 minutes, Miss Dressler was in fine fettle, and although a great deal of her travesty material conflicted in a measure with similar stuff done by Watts earlier in the evening, the bunch fell for it to a man. Being called back for a speech at 11:30, is some achievement for any artist, but the Riversiders liked Marie and took the only means at their command to let her know it.
