Musical Fredericks
Evans and Lee
Gertrude Barnes
The act was twenty minutes long.
Barnes enters from the center of a plush curtain and opens with a kid song. She follows it with another song and a talking number. She then sings “I Left My Old Kentucky Home for You”, which showcases her dramatic ability, which is rare for a signing comedienne. She makes the standard “Row, Row, Row” entertaining by sitting in a rowboat with a dummy and doing a bit of travesty.
Alpine Troupe
The act was nine minutes long on the full stage.
Three girls and two men do a wire act on two wires spaced four feet apart. A female assistant hands them props. They jump from one wire to another and do cartwheels, rope skipping, two highs, and cakewalks in the air. They finish with a ground acrobatic routine.
The Leading Lady
The choisters appear from the darkened stage one after the other, their faces alone being illuminated in the centre of a picture frame.
The stage setting is neat and tasteful. Miss Haney is well provided with fine feathers.
Marcel and Boris
Nellie Waring
The act was seventeen minutes long.
Nellie Waring is billed as “England’s Sparkling and Dainty Comedienne”. She sings four songs and changes her gown for each. For one of the numbers she sings to a male “plant” under a spotlight in an audience box.
McMahon, Diamond and Clemence
The act was thirteen minutes long.
Helen McMahon does some of the best limp “scarecrow” work that vaudeville has ever seen. Maurice Diamond does some mixed dancing and Ida Clemence sings.
