Gertrude Hoffmann’s Revue

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
12 scenes, all special, except the opening in 1. The depths range back and forth from full stage to 2 throughout the act. 12 chorus girls, 6 Cingalese [sic] men. A gentleman lady-like assistant. This is truly a pretentious offering built about Miss Hoffmann’s rather unusual ability to impersonate famous stars. The most diverting part is the Kellermann burlesque which proved a scream. Miss Hoffmann’s own exclusive, especially imported and personally selected stage crew handles the scenery and accessories in miserable fashion. Miss Hoffmann is magnetic, and although suffering from a cold, injected life and ginger into the feature. Her work seemed to please uniformly.
