Merri Osborne

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Composer and Diseuse. 12 min. F.S. 2 shows. Miss Osborne might have been wrongly placed on the bill for an afternoon performance, but at any rate she did not make the hit that we expected. The first song fell very far short, and the only time that she really had all of her audience was when she placed her own accompaniments on the piano and banjo, which she did brilliantly. She gave four selections, but did not seem to be in there best form. There was no advance hand, and the close was only fair, with no curtain calls. It may be that with the evening crowd this act will pull up stronger.
