Hotel office. Had it not been for the little sign tacked over the door, no one would have guessed hotel.
A dance in this section by Meehan and Violet Pearl proved to be the best bit of the evening.
Van Osten is the principal comedian.
The Penn City Quartet occasionally made a bid for harmony and in the olio presented a fairly good act for burlesque.
All to the Good.
The big hit of the show proved to be Joe Fogler, the six-day rider and holder of the world's records, on a home trainer.
The Sam T. Jack's Show is lacking in comedy. Had it not been for Kathryn and Violet Pearl the show would have been voted a poor one.
The show carries a bunch of lively, good looking "ponies" who help hold it up, until they put on tights. The "show girls" with few exceptions, had better watch out for old Doc Osler.
Violet Pearl, who enjoys the reputation of being a leader in her class, was handicapped by a cold, but if it hadn't been for Violet, the first part would have been sad.
The show needs comedy, and until that essential is interjected into the performance, the "Sam T. Jack" show will struggle along without breaking any record.
