In ‘At the Club’, 5 men, full stage CDF. POSITIVELY A SONG FEAST! I am not often at a loss for words, but upon this particular occasion I must confess that my vocabulary is altogether inadequate and totally insufficient wherewith to describe this act in all its glowing features. This is my confession, and if there be any shame there-in, I am quite willing to accept the shame. You yourself, who have witnessed the offering in all its glory, and I do not consider this adjective one whit too strong, can perhaps appreciate my position, and agree with me that the very futility of any attempt at description would disconcert one at the very outset. This much I can emphatically say, that it is the one act that will cause the Bijou’s reputation to be handed down to future posterity as the home of real vaudeville. The one act that will forever remain the brightest gem in memory’s golden chalise [sic].
