Singing.
Following the opening turn Sybil Vane was the first to plant an Irish song. She did it most successfully. Miss Vane is all that Emma Carus was in the days that she was "The" Female Baritone and could put over a song second to no single woman in vaudeville. Miss Vane manages to slam her tremendous baritone over the foots in a manner that makes the audience just love her, and with it she can also turn her voice to a soprano and sing as sweetly and prettily as any of the ingenue prima donnas. She was the first big hit of the show.
