"Big Moments from Great Plays." Amelia Bingham surrounded herself with three
capable players — Malcolm Williams, Lynn
Pratt and Beth Franklyn. Before each of the scenes she
gives a short synopsis of the play from
which it is taken, telling the story up to
the point where the characters are introduced.
Four out of the five scenes are
dramatic, the exception, the comedy
"School for Husbands." The other four
are "The Devil," "Modern Lady Godiva,"
"Madame Sans Gene" and "Mlle. Marni."
Although running 45 minutes, the audience
did not tire, and Miss Bingham was
compelled to answer a number of encores.
To say that her act is a success
would be placing it mildly; it is one of
the best acts ever offered in vaudeville.
