"When I Leave the World Behind" and "War a Little Red, White and Blue."
Gertrude Vanderbilt and George Moore, reunited, offering a song and dance act which contains some of the old material they formerly used and some new numbers. The surprising item is the remarkable improvement Miss Vanderbilt has made since she and Mr. Moore originally presented a double turn. That little dancing lesson is still used for the opening, followed by a rag that gets over. It is a minstrel march number that leads naturally to the minstrel big and the few "gag" which follow it. A good laugh line is the reference to the latest war ballad "When I Leave the World Behind." Miss Vanderbilt's patriotic fashion number "Wear a Little Red, White and Blue" is particularly well done by her and the costuming was very nifty. A "Brazilian Nut" number closed with a fast tango and some eccentric stepping included and the act went over as one of the three big hits of the bill.
