In “Captain Velvet.” 2 men, 1 woman. Time 21. Interior. Although advertised as the feature of the show, this act is a great disappointment. There may be two great reasons for this. First the size of the house may handicap. Secondly, the memory of the splendid work of Bijou Fernandez in this role still fresh in the minds of our patrons. At any rate applause at the close was perfunctory. The woman principal overacts and is unconvincing in a part that demands great talent. Arden could scarcely be heard at times. The sketch itself is immense, but demands better presentations.
