VARIETY B. A. MYERS WHO BOOKS THE "LIVE ONES" WILLARD' I Temple of Music EUROPE! Vaudeville Managers and Agents "Across the Pond" Take Notice ! Mr. B. A. Myers will sail Saturday, May 11, on the "laugh ship," "Minnie Ha Ha," with a bunch of "good fellows,' booked for long runs, and he will also carry with him a multitude of monster sepia flash-light photos of Willard's "Temple of Music," now known and styled "The Giant Musical Act of the World," including sworn affidavits and unsolicited letters from over 100 reputable American managers who say "Willard's 'Temple of Music 9 smashed to smith- ereens the highest record ever held by any American novelty in this country/ f You, European managers, just remember two names: Myers (the man with the real goods to sell) and Willard (the builder and owner of the world's greatest "crowd-catching" act). B. A. MYERS—C. D. WILLARD MYERS—WILLARD MYERS—WILLARD MYERS—WILLARD DON'T MISS READING THESE PRESS COMMENTS-THEY SAY SOMETHING Newark "Krenlnc News," April SO. Aside from Mr. Arbuckle the most in- teresting contributor to the bill this week is TTette, who has corns rapidly Into promi- nence this season. No such unique person- ality has flashed before an audience at Proc- tor's since Bra Tanguay first began to "whoop-'er-np." She Is far more versatile than that screaming- performer. She can sin* a little bit and she does not "holler." She plays the violin cleverly and dances gracefully while doing- so. She can com- mand the gaucheries of an eccentric com- edienne and pose with the flexibility of a contortionist Whether shaking a shock of red hair or whirling to her own music she Is electric and surprising. Newark "Star." April SO. Tvette is with us again. Readers of this column of Judgment on Proctor's will re- member that the writer said the kindest words in his vocabulary to hsr. After hear- ing iier once mors he wishes he had a new budget of words, but is glad he has the same ears. Her violin playing, dancing and singing place her In her own class—the first. Return Engagement at Proctor's. Newark, This Week—And a Riot AT THE iushwick Theatre NEXT WEEK NOT A BOX OFFICE ATTRACTION JUST A BIG HIT No "box office attractions" this week at Proctor's. Just a bill of real good acts and business is the same, thank you. Only one little ripple—a star ( ?) act re- fused to play because Yvette was featured. Getting to be rather a lonesome week when some act don't find fault with Yvette but the audiences always insist on a speech and the billing is in bigger type each week, so what care I? Only a few weeks more this season and then I am off for Europe. Most anybody can go to Europe, but I am going over to make good. If they don't like me over there I will be honest and use just as much advertising space in VARIETY to tell you about it as I will if I go good. It pays to be honest and it pays to ad- vertise—in VARIETY.
