BURLESQUE NEWS (OmUooeJ fc— page* IS and 3} TALBOT HAD A GOOD, CLEAN SHOW AT THE STAR LAST WEEK Harry Lang and Ms new "Lid Utters of L919" is tbe way Talbot's show was billed it tbe Star last week. And rightly so. -Lang la one of tbe best comedians of tbe rounger generation, for be doe* not depend ipon tbe character alone to be successful. He Is clever In otber ways. He can dance is well as whistle and can act as well as be tansy. He is one of tbe best versatile He- >rew comedians we have seen at tbe Star Ills season. Jlmmle Gallagher is another performer sho stands oat. He is a corking good ju- renlle straight. He baa a good voice and :au pat oyer a somber in a way tbe audi- ence likes. He reads lines well and has a lne stage presence. He Is a neat dresser tnd makes a good appearance. As a light comedian he is second to none in burlesque. 3allagher does an eccentric bit In one of the scenes which gives tbe audience an oppor- tunity to see tnat he could easily handle a somedy part.-' He works well with Lang. Harry Heeler la tbe straight man and lad no trouble In holding up his end. He •feeds" well and has a good line of talk. 3e dresses well also. - • JJ Harry Boornm Is doing a • rube. He Is lot very humorous. He takes himself too lerlonsly to make others laugh. He-has a rood character but be does not get tbe iroper results from It - - Bonnie Lloyd, a shapely little sonbrette sho is full of "pep." dashed her numbers >ver one after the other. She can dance ind offers plenty of steps, including some rood acrobatic dancing, .lllas Lloyd has a rerj attractive wardrobe that is bright in xilor and pretty In design. She does well n scenes. _ Dolly Meden Is doing the prima donna role and renders ber numbers well. Violet Penney works in the ehorna bat leads several numbers and is In several icenes. She doe* Jost enough to show tJiat ihe baB the makings of j good sonbrette. She has a nice voice and can pat a number over. Sbe also talks well. With some care- ful coaching she should be ready to jump oat as a sonbrette next season. She la a pretty little girl with a pleasing personality. The show opens with a prologue intro- ducing Lang and Keeler. The next scene Lane makes bis entrance through tbe body of the house, with Keeler and Gallagher on the stage. Tbe scene is well worked np and goes over nicely. The "examination" bit resulted in plenty of laughs, as did the "clock" bit by tbe same two men. Tbe "marriage" bit was amusing, aa done by Lang, Gallagher and Miss Meden. The "kiss" bit won favor as offered by Lang, Keeler, Boorum and Miss Lloyd. The "rose" number, offered by Lang and Miss Meden. took half a dozen encores owing to Lang's whistling, which he does very well. In fact, he is one of the few whistlers who has tone and carries it all through tbe num- ber. This number might go still better It Miss Meden Joined in at the finish and gave Lang as opportunity to finish it alone. The- "rehearsal" scene was nicely staged and created lots of comedy, both Lang and Keeler working well In it. Gallagher offered a neat recitation at the close of the first act that pleased. Lang and Gallagher, assisted by Boornm, put over a fast comedy act In one at tbe opening of the burlesque. Gallagher and Miss Lloyd presented a dandy singing and dandng specialty that was a decided success. Both members of the act offered a clever dance and pot their numbers over well. Gallagher wore a dress suit, wblle Miss Lloyd's black and white dress ws.s pretty. The offering was neat and pleased. _ The sbow closed with a comedy military scene which sent the andlence home in a good humor. The numbers, while easy, have been well arranged and look well from the front. Tbe costumes worn by the chores were clean and bright looking. «*«.'•.
