2 shows, 20 min, full stage. First time in five years for this clever and artistic woman, who presented a new monologue entitled, ‘Masks and Faces,’ in which she gives impersonations of actresses on and off the stage. In finesse and delicacy it is incomparably the best thing ever offered in this house, and made a big hit. Every impersonation was encored, and at the finish she had three enthusiastic curtain calls. In some houses I rather fancy the act would be beyond the understanding of a proportion of the audiences, and her older offering proved the more popular. Her act will be the most talked of feature of the bill, and will draw a class of people whom we do not regularly cater to.
