Vilmos Westony

Hungarian pianist. I am in hopes that Mr. Westony will go bigger tonight than he did this afternoon. He did well but was by no means the sensational hit he was in Philadelphia last week. I should advise managers to be careful in the billing of him and not bear too hard upon the ligitimate [sic] side and the “Protégé of Wagner” stuff. We did it here and I am afraid we have made ourselves ridiculous with it. It is a corking good vaudeville act but when you invite real musicians to come and see it you are liable to be roasted. 33 min. in two.
