Edna Showalter
Edna Showalter, billed as “The Girl with the Golden Voice,” entered quietly, sang a couple of operatic arias then accompanied herself on the piano for a few more and then left just as quietly as she entered.
Jerome and Newell
Jerome and Newell opened the show with a little singing, dancing and instrumental work leading to their acrobatics. The latter portion of the act brought applause, but the opening efforts proved inconsequential.
Ralph C. Bevan and Patricia Flint
The hit of the show was scored by Ralph C. Bevan and Patricia Flint is an offering that contained some original comedy talk and songs. The laughs started with the opening of the act, with Bevan doing a travesty posing turn. Miss Flint proves an excellent foil for his work and the two look like splendid production possibilities.
Jeanette Childs
Jeanette Childs looks like a recruit from the small time, but her showing here indicated that she is a big time possibility. She has ability enough to remain in the bigger houses. She is an exponent of character songs, including the usual Italian and Yiddish characterizations, but as a novelty has a rube song. What she needs the most is material and wardrobe.
Francis Yates
Through Francis Yates and Gus Reed being on the bill there was a doubling of female impersonations. Yates essaying a dame in the two-act offering. As it is placed at the opening of the act it proved a surprise and the team cleaned up on the strength of their voices. They finished a hit after having pulled solid laughs all the way with bright talks.
The Creole Fashion Plate
The Creole Fashion Plate was the second holdover offering of the program and also proved a solid hit displaying a different assortment of gowns and a new repertoire of numbers this week.
Irene Franklin
Irene Franklin with Burton Green headlined most successfully. Miss Franklin looking exceptionally good. She offered her own numbers including “Redhead,” “Dirty-Face,” “The Waitress-Cash Girl” and a blasé chorus girl number for a big hit. Burton Green received good applause for his individual efforts at the piano.
Percy Bronson and Winnie Baldwin
Percy Bronson and Winnie Baldwin in “Visions of 1970” (by Jack Lait), eclipsed their previous successes, appearing to better advantage than ever with their present offering, the dialogue pertaining to what may happen fifty years hence. It registered heavy laughs. The futuristic setting, Miss Baldwin’s pretty costumes and the all around class of the team, proved the show’s outstanding feature and worthy headline timber.
Palo and Palet
Palo and Palet in Pierrot costume start with accordions finishing with the youngest man playing various musical instruments accompanied by partner on combination horn, which stopped the show in second position.
Harrison Greene and Katherine Parker
Harrison Greene and Katherine Parker in black and tan were next to closing, registering a comedy hit with “At the Depot,” filled with continuous laugh getting material of funny business and snappy remarks. Miss Parker displayed excellent voice and dance ability, making a dandy straight for Greene’s clever black facing, nearly stopping the show.
