Hope Booth
A quantity of knock about comedy. Miss Booth makes an attractive blond lady.
James E. Sullivan and Company
Humour with a seltzer bottle and a man standing on his head under threat of horse whipping. Sullivan is the “Dutchman” with accent, make up and dialogue similar to Sam Bernard’s “Hoggenheimer.” Katheryn Shay brighetns up the character of a stenographer.
Eddie Leonard
Is now supported by McGloin and Smith instead of the Sharp brothers. The dances are well done. Some of the drops show their texture when lights are behind them. The stage is well dressed.
Claude Gillingwater and Company
A girl sacrifices the feelings of her heart to marry a man with money. Her lover becomes rich and returns in time to stop the marriage. There is a useless sister, a butler and a police man. Gillingwater plays a dual role. The rough housing a wrestling is cut out and it runs smoother.
Hope Booth
The same newspaper office set as “Her Only Way,” but instead of a reporter there is a dramtic critic, stenographer and a boy. Miss Booth plays the author of a play and applies to be a stenographer. She plots to have the critic write a review of the play before seeing it. Charles Deland plays Horatio Hammer, the critic, and Harry Pilcer, the office boy.
Williams and Hoffman
Two automoblies and a panorama. Three scenes used. Well staged. During a race, Paris in the background becomes larger as they get closer. “Helen Brandon (Zoe Edwards) is the American heiress, whom Count Boni (Joseph W. Herbert, Jr.) speeds away with from her American lover Dick Manley (George Wright). Dick gives chase in his auto, but is stopped by a French gendarme (Ben Bernard). He bribes the gendarme, starts his machine and catches up with the speeding couple. A terrific duel with swords then ensues as the autos – are abreast. Dick climbs into the Count’s machine and the struggle continues. Dick throws the Obunt back into his machine, it blowing up directly afterward. The Heiress and Dick then speed on.
Delvin and Ellwood
The curtain comes down during the proposal. The man is below average height and the woman is six feet tall. Slovenly makeup.
Arnot and Gunn
A sketch of a character that lacks conviction. An Isrishman and his wife. After the letter comes, he makes extravagant purchases of furniture and clothing until a second letter comes and informs him it was a joke and he must send all his purchases back. Mr. Gunn plays carefully but Miss Arnot does not enter the spirit of her character. Her make up is not convicing.
Junie McCree and Company
Has a new woman, Blangtry Ashton as the adventuress. She looks the part but does not play as well as her predecessor.
