Date:
23 min. A capacity audience received this versatile young woman with open arms and despite the fact that she was not up to her best work, following a long, hard trip from Cleveland to get here in time, she was a big hit. Did eight impressions and each number scored, her Will Rogers’ bit being her biggest applause winner. She did a dance for a finish and was forced to come back with a little speech of thanks.
