Valerie Bergere and Company

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 30 min. full stage. First time here in her new playlet, “His Japanese Wife”. There can be no question about Miss Berger’s ability to play this character, and her support is good. The piece was listened to with interest, the comedy lines were all laughed at, and the pathos at the finish applauded. In its way, it might be considered as having scored an artistic hit, still I do not think patrons of this form of amusement hunker for such acts, and, personally, I want to go on record as being opposed to their booking. We can do much better with the money so far as pleasing is concerned.
