25 min. F.S. Mr. Rolfe has got what, in my estimation, is the best musical act in vaudeville considered form every standpoint. There was diversity and excellence all through. Rolfe’s work on the cornet simply surprised everybody, and is finished and brilliant. He has gathered around him vocalists and instrumentalists of the highest order and he has given them superb stage setting, representing a garden scene of a country estate. The solos, as well as the ensemble work, received well deserved applause, particularly the cornet work Mr. Rolfe. It held the interest of the audience for twenty-five minutes and then the crowd was loath to let them go and they were made to do an encore.
