Theater: 23rd Street

Ruth Allen and Company

Miss Allen has the role of a athletic girls who is breezy, up-to-date and smokes. No gowns or frills. Muriel Fairfax (Miss Hart) has been invited to dine by the man with whom the athletic girl is in love with.

Winsor McCay

Evidently nervous. White chalk on a black board is used and black crayon on a white pad. Starts by drawing two baby heads and carries them through all the stages of life with great speed. Keeps the profiles the same changes the age with head dress and caps. The finale was a rapid sketch of “Little Nemo”, “Dull Care”, Hungry Henrietta” and other “Silas” drawings.

Lew Sully

Sang in whiteface and told some stories about his family. Has a habit of not waiting for laughs and gains more because of it.

Violet Dale

Dressed like Fay Templeton but did not change dress for other characters.

Ned Wayburn’s Attractions

A “fairy symphonette” led by Dorothy Jardon with eight more young women. There are three scenes. The scenes are set in Mexico, Japan and “Daisy-land” which is a field of daisies bordering water with woods in the background. The lights heighten the effects. Little dancing is done.

Sharp Brothers

Dance in hard and soft shoes. Several new steps are shown. For a finish a protracted dance is given by both without the orchestra. The rythm is perfectly kept.
