28 min. F.S. 2 shows. This is one of the best acts of the kind in Vaudeville. It starts with a rush and keeps up strong interest to a rousing finish. There are five men, together with a blackface comedian, assisting Miss Earl. These young men are far above the average of the chorus type, and each one looks the part of the gentleman. The singing is all to be desired and there is no end of spontaneous prankish fun through the whole act. Miss Earl is a very pretty and accomplished woman, and knows exactly how to get the best out of everything. Her voice is very sweet and charming, and her lace gown is what the women might call a “dream”. There is no possible doubt about the success of this feature for the remainder of the week. It is also a great relief to find an artiste who insists upon securing the best support, a credit which everyone knows is rarely paid in Vaudeville. This act has all the merits of an artistic and thoroughly enjoyable feature. Many other songs were repeated to immense applause. The finish was an ovation, with seven curtain calls.
