The Gleesons

GNH 2. John and Bertha, but they are now assisted by Fred Houlihan, a very clever pianist. This, of course, obliges us to give them the full stage, and, while it renders their act a little more effective, it is not nearly as convenient as when they worked in one. Their dancing, of course, is about the same. They have some new wardrobe and look, as they always did, very neat indeed. Houlihan is a fine pianist and did a short selection while the Gleesons were changing, which was well received. To sum it up, the act in its present shape makes a better stage picture than formerly, otherwise there is no great improvement. 16 minutes in one.
