“A modernized routine of doubles and solo dances written around a wisp of a plot.” “In another costume creation of black ostrich ballet dress with a lace hat Adelaide does her toe specialty.”
"A pretty cyclorama encases the stage, with Dan Casiar at the piano, contributing a left-handed rendition of 'The Rosary' during a change by the couple. An introductory song, 'Dancing the Jazz,' followed by an intricate jazzy foxtrot in their inimitable style, put the couple right back where they left off as far as vaudeville is concerned. This was followed by a beautifully executed waltz."
"[Adelaide's] technique and grace are accentuated in this style of dancing and she has no peer in gracefulness of execution or artistic abandon. She elevates flawlessly and rocks on her toes and ankles like a swaying lily. The costumes for this number were on par with the others." "The act has the polish of a diamond. It's a gem."
