Dancing, collie dogs.
Singing. Comedy.
Miss Gilbert has a backing of four girls who act as a singing and dancing chorus. They dance about half as well as the English pony ballet and sing just as well. A man in the act does a bit. The entire turn depends on the star and she with a flippant manner of delivery puts over all of the comedy and the numbers. She is doing a Sis Hopkins sort of a "kid" that appeals to a small time audience. Four collie dogs are used, after the same fashion as by the "Top of the World" dancers. The act is a flash for the small houses where girls are wanted on the bills.
