Mr. Cooper held down the next to closing spot, and John Guiran and Marguerite doubling from the Hamilton closed the show in their dancing classic and held every one with the sheer artistry of their opening efforts. They are one of vaudeville’s best dancing combinations and the departing throng buzzed about their talents.
John Giuran and La Petite Marguerite closed intermission. Giuran’s specialty drew rattling applause and the turn ran through to big appreciation. Marguerite’s jump at the close of the toe dance to a corking feat which started something.
Ernie and Ernie, with a special drop in one, stepped out and hit ‘em as though he had two legs. His hard shoe dance and high kicking are very good. The girl sings and dances and makes three changes of costume.
14 Mins.; Full Stage. Barton and Lovera have constructed a rather pretentious vehicle to background the man’s cycling and the woman’s dancing, opening with a plush set with the woman’s costume to match. A Spanish dance and a dance labeled “Love and Temptation” is done by the woman, after which the same is burlesqued by the man on a unicycle. It carries class and comedy and should make good anywhere at either end of the bill. They were a hit at the corner.
13 Mins.; Full Stage. The usual routine of modern dances, the expectation being a bare-foot effort by the girl that brought some applause, but necessitated a short wait between that and the succeeding number. If “pop” time isn’t overcrowded, here’s another one.
10 Mins.; Full Stage. This pair of society steppers have nothing new, expecting one backward step in a trot. They have got to go some if they are just starting, for the small time does not relish these dancing couples as formerly.
10 Mins.; Full Stage. With an excellent appearance, a sort of unique tango and some attractive costumes this turn runs along the groove of modern dancing specialities. The couple exhibit more than the average grace and to those who can arouse any self-interest in such vehicles, they will probably appeal. To the others, it’s the same old tango-hesitation-maxxixe thing with the aforesaid essentials more prominent than usual.
9 Mins.; Full Stage (exterior).
Three English dancing girls, who dance only. That helps some. Usually dancers find it necessary to sing. There are hard-shoe dancing and high kicking steps in the routine that fitted in on the early spot. The girls dress neatly and put vim into their work.
Man and woman, apparently foreigners, with a routine of two dancing numbers in which they feature some excellent spins and whirlwind work. They look good, work gracefully and can dance, but there’s hardly enough for the present dancing requirements of big time vaudeville. They open at the Palace and except for occasionally applause in appreciation of a spin or twist, failed to arouse any noticeable enthusiasm.
9 Mins; Full Stage (Palace). A mixed couple dancing the modern steps and opening the show on the American Roof. Another craze on its last stage legs. This couple do as well as any of those who contest for cups in the dancing cabarets.
