With Pauline Perry & Co. 9 people. A new girl novelty with an original book, lyrics and music and featuring Pauline Perry, late prima-donna in “The Merry Widow” and “The Climax.” Act in its present form is just a little slow and one of the girls should be changed. The originality of the act and the splendid singing of Miss Perry should make the act a novelty on any bill after it has been smoothed out a little. The musical numbers went over in good shape today and act took three curtain calls. By the end of the week the act should be in splendid shape. Own set in 3. Time 27 min.
To avoid argument with Mrs. DeHaven managers are cautioned to feature Gibson as strongly a the Sextette. Unfortunately I did not receive the billing until late and got Gibson’s name as Shields. Hence, several unpleasant interviews with the lady who owns the act. I consider this act the best Mrs. DeHaven has ever put over in vaudeville and the act will be a big feature novelty of any program. The girls are gingery in their work, look well and are dressed better than any girl act in the business. Usually “girl” acts look well but that is about all. This one delivers the good and I would be glad to play any more than can halfway approach this one. Gibson is a good light comedian and his singing and dancing are features in themselves. Own cut drop, with house garden backing, full stage. 22 min. close in 1, 6 min.
Parisian novelty act. The three girls, handsomely gowned and making an attractive stage picture, have an act that should be a distinct novelty on any bill. They sing, dance, perform on trapeze and introduce some good physical culture tricks. Special set in 3. Time 11 min.
7 girls, 1 man. Time 19. In 1, 4, 2, all special. The act is wonderfully improved over the first edition of a season or two ago. The girls make a stunning appearance and the costuming is elaborate and tasteful. The final illusion by means of a motion picture surf view of the girls in bathing is very realistic and infinitely better than the original illusion.
