In 1. Time 16. Prima donna. Operatic repertory. The big hit of the show. She sings beautifully. However, a portion of her success here must be excited to the fact that she once sang in stock opera here and built up a large following.
12 min. Third appearance here and made good as usual. Each one of their grand opera selections got a big hand and closed strong.
Operatic Vocalist. Probably the best voice we ever had in the house. Very well liked. 15 Min. in Two. Can work in One.
I am afraid I will have to go on record as “knocking” a rival (?) operatic act. I think the Armanis are considerable of a bluff. There is not one first class voice in the company and the people are rather awkward, while the scenery is very shabby. They managed to get quite a little applause and I don’t know that I have any great kick coming from the audience standpoint, but when I meet the composer of “Lucia”, if we both got to the same place hereafter, I’m going to tell him what they did to his Sextette. 15 Min. Open F.S. Close in One.
10 min. in one. Plays with brilliant technique and wonderful sweetness of tone, particularly in Schumann’s “Traumeri” and an operatic aria encore. Big applause after each number and a strong close.
25 minutes in 1. Notwithstanding that we have had a surfeit of these stunt opera acts this season, this troupe went very well to-night.
15 min. F.S., close in one. A mighty good vocal quintette. Use a drop representing a scene in Naples on a terrace over-looking the Bay of Naples and Vesuvius in the background. Their selections were from the popular operas and all of them were well applauded. The finishing number from Rigoletto went so strong that the audience was loth to let them go. A very good act and well placed on the bill.
Prima donna soprano who possess a most excellent voice. In one.
High class operatic soloists. Went big. 13 minutes in one.
