Comic dialogue.
The early show in the evening had Tommy Allen and Co. as its headliner, and it held to spot in great shape. The principal comedy role is played by a girl, presumably "Tommy" Allen, and is well supplied in this respect. The girl has a strong sense of humor, character, and knows how to get comedy over. With the Market street contingent she was a big hit, and could command her own three sheets as principal comedienne in burlesque. She is surrounded by eight girls, most of them getting a chance to speak, but only two getting into the solo class. There is a vein of story about a hot water bag, but it is only worth laughter through the way Miss Allen handles the part.
