Japanese Prima Donna, assisted by B.S. Takaori. 9 minutes in 4 with special drop, closing in one. One Japanese woman who can’t sing, and one Japanese man who can’t direct an orchestra. This act could work just as well in one if it were not for a big drop which is used in two songs. As a much advertised novelty this act is in the same class with “The Talking Dogs.” The power of suggestion has to be used on the audience through most elaborate program matter, and then out of sympathy they give the act a hand for the woman who don’t know the first things about vocal work.
