Gertrude Barnes is a newcomer to vaudeville and was placed on a bill that featured only men. She sings several songs and does some comedy with props. She makes several costume changes and wears a couple beautiful gown which impress her womanly charms upon the audience. She sang five songs in a pleasing soprano, one of which was a “kid” number. Her final song, which was a lullaby skillfully worked up into a rag, garnered laughs from the audience.
The two girls,
dressed in close-fitting blouses, trunks and
tights, go through a series of graceful
evolutions under water—picking up fifty
coins from the floor, showing in pantomime
a sleeping mermaid, and other like
feats.
