19 minutes f.s. Light interior. Miss Jardon has beautiful act with some wonderful gowns. Sang four numbers; “Oh, You Haunting Waltz;” “Tosti’s “Goodbye;” “The Cigarette Song from Carmen;” and “When I Hear a Martial Tune.” Miss Davis of Fern and Davis is wearing a red-white-and-blue costume similar to the one Miss Jardon wears in her closing song. Misa Jardon put over the applause hit of the show, closing very strong.
17 minutes in two. Special drapery. The old Vanderbilt and Moore act, songs, costumes and jokes, done by a clever team who put the material over almost as well as the original people. A good, lively turn, helped greatly by the pleasing personalities of the entertainers. Just the sort of act to wake things up this spot, particularly after Hirschel Hendler had sung about the horrors of war.
18 minutes in one. O.P. Drapery. We played this pianist about a year ago, on a Sunday night, when he was a big hit. This year he is trying to do a dramatic song recital at the piano, with very little rag-time stuff. Went well in this spot, but his present turn is by no means as good as his old act.
10 minutes f.s. C.D.F. Man and woman in a trick bicycle act, with little dancing. The bicycles are disguised as various articles of furniture, such as a clock, a table and a phonograph. Have some good tricks, and made an acceptable opener.
A lot of very good motion pictures, very effective scenery, a big flash in the way of costumes and a lot of “give me your kind applause,” but very little of merit or intrinsic value in the act. There is no good singing, no good music, or anything that one could go out and say was well performed. To be worth the money that they are asking, the act should be entirely reconstructed. 32 minutes. Full stage.
Very interesting playlet with a very good moral but does not contain the comedy that I expected from what I have been told. There are no particularly big laughs, and the greater part of the sketch is treated very seriously by the actors. If it was played in a more farcical style, I think the result would be better for vaudeville. 20 minutes full stage.
Two men in an eccentric dancing specialty who are quite clever, but the work is very quiet and following the quietness of the preceding act did not go as well as it seems it ought to have. 7 minutes in one.
24 min. Her return to vaudeville after a season on the concert stage, was marked by a somewhat different program of songs than she formerly gave. Some of her numbers reach to the real classical and were well done, but it was the more popular kind with which she has always been identified that brought her the biggest reward. At that, she was a big applause winner and finished to a big hand after her encore.
31 min. “Mary Ann.” This is a very classy and pretty playlet that has been given splendid mounting. The story depicts seven episodes in a girl’s life. It is entirely different from anything we have ever had and takes its place among the modern allegories so popular today on the stage. An excellent company present it and it won applause which earned the several bows at the finish.
19 min. Undoubtedly one of the finest musical offerings vaudeville has ever presented and a distinct applause hit with an audience that listened to each of her violin selections with close attention. All of her numbers are of the classical order and splendidly played. She has a very high class offering that will be enjoyed on any bill.
