Written by by Edward P. Moran "College Girls" starring May Florine Linden, Willy Weston and Ed
Harris. At the head of the comedy department
is Joe Fields, formerly of Fields and
Woolly. Opposite to him is an Irishman,
played by George Scanlon, a conventional
sort of comedian, but who gets several
capital bits over in team work with
Fields. R. G. Knowles is the straight, a
rather inconspicuous member of the cast. Two other
specialties were worked in during the burlesque
by Grace Childres and Fanny Brice,
both substantial applause getters. Edith Palfrey as an adventuress looked
the part of the gorgeous Parisian.
The handling of
the chorus might have been the work of a
Broadway producer, and there was not
a number that had the mark of the oldtime
burlesque routine.
