28 min. Supported by a company of four, they are presenting a musical fantasy called “The Clock Shop.” It is a quaint little love story set in the scene of an old clock shop, the characters impersonating a different kinds of clocks. Songs and dances are interpolated and form a very pleasing and out-of-the-ordinary sketch which finished to a great hand of applause.
24 min. A very classy young fellow and a musical comedy favorite who made good with some songs, bits of chatter and some eccentric dancing, all of which he handled splendidly and with excellent results. He registered a very strong applause hit.
12 min. It has been several years since this lady has been heard in vaudeville, but she still has a name as a musical comedy star and her singing of Scotch songs which she formerly used in vaudeville was well received. She sang several of these in Scotch costume. Finished to a fair amount of applause.
33 min. This is a musical revue with Sophys Barnard and Lou Anger, both of whom have played vaudeville as singles. It is a burlesque on the moving picture craze and a new idea. This is only its second week and there is much to be done with it before it reaches perfection. There is some good comedy lines and catchy music and it has been elaborately costumed. Miss Barnard’s voice is shown to advantage and when the numbers are perfect they should go a great way to building up the act to an acceptable tabloid musical offering.
26 min. “A Regular Army Man.” A tabloid musical comedy with three male and one female principals supported by a company of eight male voices. There is a comedy story with plenty of action and lines which got good laughs, some excellent singing, especially that of the male chorus. It closed to a good hand.
All men comedy make up. 2nd appearance here. Songs and musical playing the piano accordian [sic] saxophone and a sort of stringed instrument. Playing and singing well recd. Act going over nicely.
Well-known comedy singing and piano act. Fared first rate in this spot. 17 Min. in One.
Olio in one. 17 minutes. “The Follies of Vaudeville.” Singing, chattering and comedy piano playing. A very good act of its kind, particularly the pranks of Mr. Conlin at the piano. He is a good comedian and the act gets by with a merry breeze.
30 min. This is a typical Lasky musical feature and one of his best. As usual, it is beautifully costumed, with attractive stage setting. Many of the characters were seen in “The Country Club” and other Lasky features and were familiar. The music for the most part is catchy and the various numbers received a good hand. The comedy is especially noteworthy and altogether this feature won out as well if not better than any of the Lasky musical comedies we have played.
Quite a novel offering. Mr. Penfold opens with a song and suddenly explains the non-appearance of his partner. Marshall plays the piano in the orchestra, after a few minutes of good cross-fire talk from which they get numerous laughs, Marshall goes on the stag. They then give several songs intermingled with good patter and closed to a rousing hand. 16 minutes, in one.
