18 Mins.; One. Tommy Van and the Ward Girls are presenting a three-act that will develop into a corking novelty turn for the small time. It has a novelty opening with the girls seated in the audience. Mr. Van comes on as a single (which his billing would indicate) and offers an imitation of Raymond Hitchcock. At its completion he starts to announce his next imitation, when he is interrupted by a girl’s laugh from the audience. A bit of cross-fire follows, and the girls come on the stage. Some comedy talk follows. The girls look cute at the opening, but after making a change the blonde dresses her hair in a fashion to make her look much taller than the brunet and detracts from the harmony. Her gown might also be changed. The act was easily the hit of the ball Tuesday night.
