14 Mins.; One. Cecile Weston and Louise Leon are presenting an act that is patterned closely after that Weston and Bernard formerly gave. Miss Weston is Willie’s sister, and almost as clever as her brother, working along the self-same lines as he follows. Miss Leon is billed as the champion girl ragtime player. She will have a time living up to this billing for there are girls about town in cabartes who will give her a run. The act as framed up at present does not start right. The idea of letting the pianist open with a selection before Miss Weston enters is poor showmanship. Miss Weston is the strong feature and should be there from the start. The singer is using four numbers. Three seem to be of the restricted type, and the forth is “Poor Pauline,” done as a double. The act was one of the hits of the first half of the Royal bill. When the routine is rearranged it should be ready to go in anywhere.
