"Melody on G String," "Humoresque," "Gypsy Airs" and the Fantasie from "Rigoletto."
Carrie Goebel Weston, the California concert violiniste, making her initial eastern bow under exceptionally trying circumstances, registered a decidedly favorable impression and looks like a worthy and immediate candidate for the better grade of vaudeville bills. Miss Weston is accompanied by Mariam Prevost, the couple offering a carefully constructed repertoire of classics including "Melody on G String," "Humoresque," "Gypsy Airs" (Hungarian dance melody) and the Fantasie from "Rigoletto," the latter a piano solo by Miss Prevost. Both girls present a youthful yet dignified appearance, in attractive afternoon gowns, and have arranged their specialty with a view to eliminate all superfluous waits and introductions, the period being wholly employed in an artistic demonstration of ability. Miss Weston knows her instrument, works with a pleasant and confident air and can satisfy the most skeptical. Miss Prevost is an accomplished pianist and adds to the general appearance. A medley of light popular music might be added without blemishing the classic routine and a programed description of the numbers might better replace the cards now in use. Wherever a music loving audience gathers this duo ill make an excellent attraction. With the current scarcity of good "straight" musical acts there should be a ready demand for the Misses Weston and Prevost in big time circles.
