23 Mins.; Two, One and Full Stage (Special Set). Seldom has vaudeville gathered as many useless people together as “The Little Lambs,” a “girl act” that looks as though it has just come east from the smaller small time of the middle west. In the turn are six chorus girls who know naught but how to screech, an eccentric woman and eccentric male, neither of whom commences to be funny, and a juvenile that has youth as his only excused for the role. When this combination isn’t screeching, it’s trying to sing or dance, and when doing neither, a couple of them go in for a bit of double mirror business. As a sigh escapes when it looks as though the act must end, it starts again, and goes along to the longest 23 minutes on record. The act also looks as though framed to fool someone, but it can hardly hope to fool New York, and will be fortunate to remain the week out at the Broadway. Tuesday night it was “No. 3,” after having been programed for an important spot.
