"Has one of the crudest disrobing incidents that has made a bid for attention within memory."
Includes "The Devil", featuring Frank Bright as the Devil and Eddie Barto ("the artist with the burned out soul") and sundry and various women, including Kathryn Pearl, who seek to revive the fires of love in his asbestos breast. Outside of this ten-minute scene the show is "Wine, Woman and Song" without a change, except in its personnel. Miss Pearl does extremely well with the principal part. Sam Hearn is in his original part as the town constable and later in a German role. George M. Cohan of the review was the best impersonation in the list, and he registered a hit with a singing and dancing turn. Sam Liebert made a satisfactory father in the sketch "The End of the World," but his David Warfield left a good deal to be desired.
