The New York Clipper (November 1916)

November 29, 1916 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER 31 THE "WISE GUY" AND HIS PAL IS A LAUGH GETTER - Edmond Hayes has returned to bur- lesque and is the feature in "Some Show," Barney Gerard's second Columbia Wheel attraction, at the Columbia, New York, this week. As the none too gentle piano mover, he is a great subject for burlesque and his antics from the time when he clambers over the edge of the Astor roof to remove the piano, when be tries to be arrested and then when he impersonates the duke for the marriage rehearsal, and the father, to disgust the duke, were closely followed. He is ably seconded by Thomas Snyder, who, without saying a word, all evening helps to amuse by his funny make-up and action, and who also stood out as a versatile dancer, especially in the number in which the chorus girls try to follow his lead with ludicrous effect. M a r t h a Edmond played the French maid Fifi, with the proper make-up and using a continuous accent, and showed several clever dances. Marie Jansen, a buxom actress, showed the proper conception of burlesque as Mrs. Hofbrau, wife of the little German, im- personated by little Billy Waldron. Harry Hills was the straight and Earl Sheahan, the juvenile, who led in several dancing numbers, one of them as a taxi chauffeur, with the girls in natty uni- forms. Mildred Cecil, Jack Lee, Chick Galleher, Fanny Palmer, Van Sheahan, Henry Fox and John Smith completed the cast. A saxophone duo played selections from grand opera to ragtime and a rathskeller act entertained during the second act. The "Let's Toddle" number had many en- cores, worked up by Miss Edmond and Mr. Snyder. A Scotch bit played by Sny- der, using a chair' all trimmed up with ribbons as a bagpipe, was a big laugh. A large floral harp, presented by Michael Dwyer of Considine'g, was handed over the footlights to Mr. Hayes. The. scenery and costumes were very handsome, full tights composing most of the chorus girls' outfits. The general verdict proclaims the show ma living strictly up 'to its title. Barney Gerard is general manager, Jack McXamara, manager; Louis Gerard, ad- vance. VAUDEVILLE FOR PRISONERS ' In accordance with their usual custom A. Paul Keith--and E. F.
