The Bootblack Quartet
Gardner, West and Sunshine
Ruth Lockwood and Co.
This musical comedy entitled “A Night in the Park” was twenty-one minutes long on the full stage.
Ruth Lockwood, Harry Van, and the Electric City Quartet use the setting of the old Melville Stolz “Kiddieland” act. They all sing and dance. Lockwood performs on top of the fountain in the finale.
Gertrude Gebest
The act was nine minutes long.
Gebest begins with a song and then tells a long story about a horse named “Rough Rider” and the poor family that needs him to win his race. To finish, she supposedly plays the violin, but when she drops it near the end of the song the music keeps going. She reveals that she was making the violin sounds with her vocal chords the entire time.
A. B. C. And D.
The costumes worn by the other girls are dainty, rich and, above all, becoming, but a change could be made for variety.
The Three Pooles
The woman looks well and has a fair costume change or two, but throughout the act. is lacking in ginger and brightness.
Stuart and Keeley
The Ladies’ Comedy Quartet
The women are dressed as an American tourist, a “Dutch” girl, Irish colleen and Signorita at the opening, each being introduced with a few bars of a characteristic song.
A change is made to military costume of blouse and black tights. The girls are shapely and the dressing becoming.
