"Madam Butterfly" and "One Fine Day."
Closing the first part was Muriel Worth. Here there was also a seeming lack of appreciation on the part of the audience. In her opening number Miss Worth really suggested that greatest of all toe dancers, Genee, and later her combination of the vigil and death scenes of "Madam Butterfly" to the musical accompaniment of "One Fine Day," presented as a bit of dance pantomime showed that she is a most capable artist. But the audience did not seem to care for her until she arrived at the jazz portion. Then those in front rose to the occasion and rewarded her efforts with something like what was due her.
