Singing comedienne. This lady started in rather quietly and I was afraid for a time that she was not going to do very well; the last half of her act picked up, however, and she closed in good style, although not the big hit she has been credited in other cities. 14 min in one.
In their new singing comedy, “Fixing Dad,” two men and a woman. Scene, parlor. Man and woman opera singers, married five years are visited by the wife’s father who doesn’t know of her marriage. The father has no use for the man who is her husband as he played a trick on him when a boy. After some persuasion the old man is won over by the husband’s singing of several Irish songs. The act closes with the husband and wife doing a little grand opera. There is quite some comedy between the wife and her father. Both singers possess good voices. The act went very good. C.D.F. 19 min. in one 5 min, time of act 24 min.
Singing comedienne. 21 minutes in 1. This young lady stopped the show. At Monday’s matinee the audience became hysterical and we carried out one man and one woman. Both of these had “over-laughed,” and we were compelled to apply such restoratives as we have had on hand for emergency sickness. Regardless of the commotion caused by carrying out the 250 pound man on the main floor and in the center of the house, Miss Shaw continued her songs and the audience refused to let her leave the stage. She made six bows after her final song at the matinee and eight in the evening. (Boston)
Singing comedienne. 17 minutes in one. A very awkward young lady who sings ragtime and character songs, and who appeals to the audience because of her diminutive size. This little lady apparently doesn’t know what ‘tempo’ means and frequently got ahead and behind the orchestra at both shown. Although she received liberal applause Georgette is undoubtedly in too fast company and is well placed in the second position on the bill. (Toledo)
Singing Comedian. For years and years the “meal ticket” for the Fitzgibbon-McCoy Trio in that classic, “The Mischievous Brother.” Bert was a little nervous at the start of his act this afternoon and for a few minutes I was afraid he would not be able to hold the spot. He finally landed, however, and for a quarter of an hour had the audience roaring with laughter. When he becomes a little more accustomed to working alone he will be a most welcome addition to the single acts in 1. Street in 1. Time 16 min.
Singing comedy sketch. A little bit old fashioned but pleased fairly well in this part of the bill. 19 Min. Open in Two, close in One.
Man and woman, singing and talking, good songs, good comedy 15 minutes in one went big.
13 min. in one. A good comedian and clever soubrette. Make a good appearance and sing some favorite ballads very well. Could a more important spot with credit.
“The Substitute.” 19 min. F.S. Miss Thomas makes two changes of costume and Mr. Hall appears as a rube. These people had a little trouble in getting hold of their audience at first but managed to amuse the crowd with their clever character songs and comedy. All right anywhere in the upper half of the bill. Good closing hand.
Singing comedienne. She is petite, has good personality, makes several changes of costume and gives a splendid assortment of songs, with several character portrayals sandwiched in, that are greatly appreciated. Thirteen minutes in one.
