12 min. Coming from Spain with a reputation of being the greatest dancer of that country, this artist fitted into the program as a feature. She contributed four numbers, all of which were very well executed but their similarity appeared to operate against their success and she was accorded only light applause, finishing rather tamely after fourth number, a description of a bull fight. She makes an attractive appearance and is unusually expert in the use of castanets which helped to get her act over.
19 min. A comedy playlet by Everett S. Ruskay with Fay Wallace and Regan Hughston. This is a dream playlet written around a new theme and carries interest through its odd construction, the story being entirely different from anything we have seen in this line. It is very well played by the two principals employed and reaching a pleasing climax, made an excellent impression finishing to a very good hand.
In “The Luck of a Totem.” A novel and picturesque musical comedy, with the stage setting as the frozen North. Eight people, seven men and a woman. Carry a fine plush drop. 28 min, in full stage; went big.
In a monologue entitled “ODD STUFF.” He has an assistant who sits in the audience and the windup goes on the stage. His act consists of an abundance of original stories and sings. 20 minutes in one; went good.
19 min. With a lot of good songs, a couple of recitations and some comedy chatter that he handled in splendid shape, he was a big applause hit. In next-to-closing position, he scored solidly with each number and kept the audience applauding for more. His songs are not only well selected but well sung and this is the best act he has ever done.
17 min. Coming direct from their seven weeks’ run at Palace Theatre and following a lot of dancing on the bill, this couple put over a good sized hit. They did six numbers, nearly all of them entirely different from what we have been having. Both are unusually clever dancers, their act is nicely staged and registered an emphatic hit, being forced to acknowledge several bows.
18 min. “Are You Lonesome!” Two men and a girl in a very good singing and talking comedy bit. Open with some snappy chatter and towards the finish work in a lot of material that gets some laughs. For their finish some fine singing is introduced by one of the men. They were very well received and closed to a solid hand of applause.
17 min. The sextette is composed of women including four vocalists and two instrumentalists. While the operatic number form the greatest portion of their program, they introduced two or three popular ballads. The voices are excellent and blend well in the concert numbers. For a high class act this will suit music lovers, as it is nicely staged and an artistic number that will suit in any bill. Finished to a good hand.
“Me and Mary.” Here is a dandy little comedy sketch that came into the bill practically unheralded and went over with a bang. It is light in texture with a lot of comedy and a couple of songs, and finished with a bit of sentiment that is splendidly woven in for a finish. The act for a lot of laughs and then closed to applause that earned several curtains.
16 min. Two girls and young man, all Philadelphians, in a singing and talking act. This is a newly formed act and is in need of reconstruction. There is too much talk at the opening, but they do well with a comedy song number at the finish. Did fairly well in the second position.
