The New York Clipper (September 1912)

li THE KjETW" YORK: OLIPPEB. SEPTEMBEB 28 NEW VAUDEVILLE ACTS "Blanche." Miner's Bowery, Skit. 23. "Blanche," a dramatic skctcb, dealing with characters of the underworld, tells a story of Jim Gardner, a man-about-town, who baa cait aside his sweetheart, Blanche, who haa unfortunately drifted Into the walks of the underworld through his persuasion, and mar- ried a girl whom he has made his wife to better his own condition. He comes to visit his sweetheart for the last time, and tells her that he has learned to lore the woman he has married, and never wants, to see Blanche again. 'Blanche pleads with him to come back to her, lie In turn denounces her, but tells her he will introduce her to a man of money if she will forget him. He also offers her a check to release him from any tie she has upon him. Blanche discovers, by the signature on the check, that the girl he has married is her sister. A friend of Blanche's, Marlon, a belle of the Tenderloin, who is visiting, calls up the wife. Jim Gardner pleads not to disclose his real identity and leaves the house, enters bis auto and is killed In a collision. The sketch is beautifully played and is brimful of dramatic situations, which hold the attention of the audience throughout Catherine Henry, who portrays Blanche, is an emotional actress who knows how to de- liver strong lines. Her work is that ot a real artiste. Eugene West, as the lover, gave a natural performance, and his work stamps him an actor of ability. Alice Blair was very clever in the part of the Tenderloin belle, and scored. Olio. "The Moonshiner." AnuMiiiiA, Matinee, Sept. 10. •Arthur Hopkins, the writer of "Moonshine," has glvci the vaudeville patrons a novelty ■ketch wl h is well written, and holds the interest ol <jb.c audience from rise to fall of the curtain. The story tells Of the capture of a V. 3. revenue officer by a North Carolina moou- shiner. The scene shows the interior of the moonshiner's hut. The moonshiner tells the officer that he is going to kill him, but only wishes he was Jim Dunn, a revenue officer, who has cleaned up -with the moonshiners In the vicinity. The revenue officer thanks the moonshiner for his promise to kill him, aud tells how he has tired of life and wanted to die for a long time, but did not have the nerve to kill himself. The moonshiner begins to think lio has made a mistake, and sets the officer free. Before going, the officer writes his name on the picture of Jim Dunn, hung In effigy. The moonshiner studies the name and finds out that the man be let go was the man he wanted to kill, W. 3. Ilnrt, as the moonshiner, gave a fine portrayal of this backwoods character. Boy Falrchild, as the revenue officer, scored. The act runs about fourteen minutes. Olio. i Carrie Reynolds, Pboctob's Fifth Avenuj, Matinee, Sept. 23. 1'osseBslng all the talent that Is required In making up a successful "single" in vaude- ville, Carrie Bcynolds, a former soubrctte of several well known musical comedies, put over an act at the Fifth Avenue, Monday afternoon, that met with wonderful success. Miss ICeynolds Is a handsome young woman, has a pleasing personality, and knows how to wear costumes. She makes her first ap- pearance In a beautiful white coat and a large picture hat to match, and changes this, after her first song, to a dainty white satin dress, in which she appears tor the rest of her performance. iller selection of songs has been made with great care, as the four she renders aro en- tirely Bultcd to her voice. Her lirst offering is entitled "Springtime," and met with much favor. "Garden of Eden" and "Milanda" follow In rotation, both meeting with much success. Her last sung, which required the full strength of her pleasing voice, brought her several encores. The act runs about fif- teen minutes, in one. Jack. Amelia Snmmerrllle and Company, In "Her Excellency, the Governor." American Boor, Monday, Sept. 23. "Her Excellency, the Governor," Is a comedy dramatic playlet by Ben Fischer, and it proved to be one of the best acts seen on the vaudeville stage In several seasons. It deals with woman suffrage, and the efforts of a poor and wicked French nobleman to marry the daughter of the widow of a millionaire cattle king. The widow, finding little Joy In life, decides to run for governor. The noble- man decide* to propose marriage to the young and trusting daughter, who Is fascinated by his description of his life in France, the wonderful people he knows, etc. The widow is, however, more practical. She determines to find out the extent of the man's love toe the daughter. She hides daughter behind the screen while she questions the nobleman. She tells blm that the daughter has no money —(hat all of the money belongs to her (the mother). Upon hearing this tbe nobleman promptly makes lore to the mother, declaring that he really never did love the daughter. Exit man, while daughter and mother cm- brace each other. Mother also learns that she has been elected governor. Amelia Summervillc (who must have found the fountain of perpetual youth) played the role of the mother In excellent manner. She looked as young and as shapely as she did many years ago. Her standing as an actress Is too well known for any extended notice here. The role of the daughter was delightfully played by a young woman whose name was not given on the house program, but she played the role of the young, trusting and sentimental miss to the life. Her acting was fresh and natural, and a genuine pleasure to watch. Barnard Fairfax played the role of the French nobleman In conventional manner. There arc two other roles—a suffragette and a Chinaman—that could be cut out of the sketch without harming it. The man who played the Chinaman Is the champion bad actor in the world. In two, about twelve minutes. Third Rote. THEATRICAL REPRO. PHOTO CO. Lob b y tmjrssfin vs^M^rsssjmjwsSss: pric - ilaUordeTii^mpUya^Juedto. Send for price list. Telephone Bryant «aw. T. BOSS, Prop. INDEX TO OUT OF TOWK NEWS Theodore Roberta, In "The Sheriff of Shnata." PaocTon's Fipin Avenue, Matinee, Sept. 23. Making his initial appearance in vaude- ville nt this house, Monday matinee, Theo- dore Bobcrts, assisted by Florence Smytbe and several others, appeared in "The Sheriff of Shasta," a one act drama of the California plains. To the general theatregoer it will be remembered as tbe second act of "Sue," produced nearly twenty years ago, with Annie ItnssclL Mr, Bobcrts, as the sheriff, gave his usual convincing performance, and played his char. actcr In a breezy Western style, finding much favor. Miss Smythe, as the wife, gave an even performance, aa did Bertram Marburgh, as the husband. Walter Dickinson, as the acrobat, had very little to do, but appeared with success. The sketch has very little to recommend It, and is doubtful of much success. It runs about twenty-live minutes, on full stage. Jack. i i Grace De 'Winter*. American Boor, Monday, San. 23. This llttlo lady la not only a clever ven- triloquist, but she has several good Ideas*. She carries only one dummy—the "boy"—who, of course, 'delivers" the comedy lines. The dummy is dressed in several costumes, which are not seen until It Is undressed. Then It Is seen in aa exact copy of Irene Franklin's dress when she sings "Red Head." The song, of course, Is rendered by Miss De Winters, through the medium of her dummy. Then comes Harry Loader imitations, in Scotch costume, and this is followed by the Eva Tunguay costume. Miss De Winters has a stunt of making tho dummy expectorate, which, while tunny, Is rather repulsive to re- fined audiences. But, taking It all in all, her act Is a good ono for the small time houses. Eight minutes, In one. Third Bow. Trios. J. Ryan-Rlehneld Co-innany. 1'iiooTOK's Firm Avenue, Matinee, Sept. 23. Appearing for the Qrst time on Broadway, The*. J. Ryan and his clever company pre- sented "The Rejuvenation of Mike Hoggcrty," •whose author Is Edgar Allen Woolf, and met witli a royal reception. The skit Is very en- tertain leg, and tho story, as In Mr, Ryan's past successes, tells about Mike Uaggcrty, the retired hodcarrler, Mr, Woolf has written a sketch that will serve Mr. Ryan for Bomo time to come, and deserves much credit for the clever handling of this well known char- acter. Mr, Ryan, as usual, met with much miccpss, and his changing from an old man to an up-to-date college boy, at the conclu- hIoii of the sketch, brought hearty laughs. Cordelia MacDonald, as his daughter, gave a pleasing performance, as did Kate Vart, a French beauty expert. ruinous Fanning, as the chauffeur, was well liked. The aet runs about eighteen minutes, an full stage. Jack. turbo* Brothers. Columbia, Sunday, Skit. 22. These two young athletes presented a head and hand balancing act that demands atten- tion. Their long continued head to head stand was done without a quiver, In clean cut style and several balances, with the un- derstandcr supporting tho head by one hand, and supporting one hand with bis head, caused applause. A head to head trick, with one seated at and playing tbe piano and the top ono picking the mandolin, was well liked. Ono works In black tights, tbe other white. When they get down to business tho act should go anywhere. If ill. i ■ Sammy Barna and Alice Fulton. Aluamuba, Matinm, Sept. 10. Sammy Burns and Alice Fulton, two dancers of the whirlwind variety, introduced a clever act, showing different styles of the tcrpslchorean art. The act is nicely cos- tumed aud prettily staged. Sammy Burns is one of those graceful dancers whoso style is somewhat out of the ordinary. Alice Fulton Is a decidedly clever whirlwind dancer. ffhelr double finish was a tremendous hit. OUo. «Nlarht Folllea of San Francisco." Keith's Bronx, Monday Matinm, Sept. 23. Tony Lubelskl, who is prominent In tho management of vaudeville houses on thu Pacific Coast, is responsible for the presenta- tion of the above mentioned act, which is pat forth as the feature at B. F. Keith's Bronx, this week. It was said that the act came direct from 'Frisco, but most of the players In the act were, of course, engaged In New York. The act followed the Inter- mission. From a scenic standpoint the act is a hum mer, but that lets It out It features fom- Chinamen, who are billed as "The World's Famous Four Chung Hwa, the Chinese Com- edy Four." One of these, Don-Tin-Yaw, Is very clever. He sings (baritone) well, and speaks English fluently—In fact, without an accent. The otbers do fairly well as singers. They were at their best when they appeared in full evening dress, which they wore with the ease of a society man. Before donning the "soup and fish" garb, they gave a clever imitation of the Newsboy Quartette. Just what the entire act was about is a mystery, although we were sitting well down In front. What it looked like was that a party of sightseeing tolfes were being taken around the Chinatown of Saa Francisco and shown the sights, which consisted mainly of specialties The Hoes of the piece were un- interesting, and the humor was antiquated. Most of the funny (?) lines fell to Harry B. Vokcs, who had the role of a Dutchman. Tho program also says that he Is In charge of the props. We have not the slightest doubt that Mr. Vokes Is amoag the best property men in the business, but as a Dutch comedian he Is very sad. Oretchen Hartman was easily the best among the women. She sang a song, entitled "Little Chinese Maiden," accompanied by the chorus girls In Chinese costume. The cos- tumes worn are beautiful. Miss Hartman Is pretty and sings well, but Is far from the prima donna class. She has a lover, Jack HasklU, who had the role of Arthur Askcr. A more amateurish performance than this we have never seen. In short, the act, which ran for thirty- seven minutes, offers nothing that wc have not seen before. Its Chinatown scene is simi- lar to the one shown in A. H. Woods' pro- duction, "The Queen of Chinatown." But la the matter of costumes It is elaborate, espe- cially when the entire company takes part In tbe Mandarin Dance of the Lion. But the piece lacks action, it is without comedy, and the cast falls to show anyone of real talent with the possible exception of the Chinaman. Don-Tin-Yaw, who is interesting because ho is of a race that has never figured promi- nently In tbe theatre of the world. The company, which is composed of Ameri- cans and Chinese players, is a very large one—In fact, we may say without fear of con- tradiction, one of the largest ever employed in the presentation of a vaudevll'e act. They worked bard, but the act was not there. We understand that the act has been boiled down from an entire evenings entertainment. If so, they cut out whatever good matter was In It Third Bo*. i Louise Dresser. Colonial, Matinee, Sept. 23. Heading the bill here this week. Miss Dresser may have deemed It necessary to pro- duce a new act, and engage three people to assist her in Its presentation. Miss Dresser styles her new act a "musical melange," and there are seven vocal numbers given during its presentation. In her tup- port are William Crlpps, who has two duos with Miss Dresser; Henry Marshall, who di- rects the act from the orchestra leader's chair, and also has a single number to vo- calize, and Mr. Spink, who presides at tho organ. Miss Dresser rendered the two opening numbers, "Go Slow, Joe," and "Fairy Stories," In her well known and correspondingly well liked manner, yhlch were followed by Mr. Crlpps and herself In a catchy song, "Moon- light Molly O," both arrayed in full Highland costume. While Miss Dresser looked charm- ing In her Highland plaids, the bare legs of a male Scot always seem out of place in a drawing room. Mr. Marshall at this point sang with ex- cellent voice, "I Never Knew What Eyes Could Do," and Miss Dresser followed this With tho musical gem of the entire act, l. plaintive little ditty, entitled "Daddy," with Mr. Spink as organ accompanist Mr. Crlpps then appeared In evening cos- tume, and, with Miss Dresser, put over a rollicking number, "Mlrandy and Me." This led to the finale number, "Baby Bumble Bee," In which Miss Dresser and her support were all employed. While Miss Dresser has made an attempt to discard the straight singing turn which has given her vaudeville fame and a largo ond loyal following, it remains to be proved whether or not her admirers will not still prefer to see her pretty face while standing modestly In front of the "drop in one" and Ustcn to her rendition of songs put over so charmingly and effectively in tbe days gone by. Old Timer. Lloyd and Whitehousc, Ai.iiamiiiia, Matinee, Sett, 10. Lloyd and Whitehousc is a singing, talking mul piano specialty, entitled "Laugh and iho World Laughs With You," got over nicely. The Material used Is somewhat now. Both members of tho team have good voices, which they use to adruntagu. Mr. Lloyd's pluuo specialty got many laughs, aud Miss White- house's burlesque operatic selection was very funny. The act runs about fourteen minutes, i and received a goodly share of applause. Olio. The Two Belmont*. Piiocxoit's Firm Avenue, Matinee, Sept. 28. Tho above team, composed of a man and woman, presented a very classy gymnastic act, performing several feats of strength that proved them experts In their respective line. They used a handsome red velvet drop, with their names lu letters of gold, nnd appear in handsome pink silk combination tights. Tliv man does most of the feature stunts, with the woman as an able assistant. Tbo act runs about tcu minutes, on full stage. Jack. Ed. and Jack Smith. American Roor, Monday, Skit. 23. These two men arc clever singers and dancers, and both make what Is known as a "good appearance." They first appear in Prince Alberts and wear white lawn ties. This Is bad style for New York boys. Thu white lnwn tie is worn on/// with full even- ing dress.. With any other suit it is bad form. These boys should also discord their Prince Albert coats. They are too young to wear them. The Prince Albert coats belong absolutely to the plumb and middle age citi- zen or politician. The boys then make a change to a natty bine suit, but still retain their lawn ties. Change this to a four-ln- hand (either blue or black). Otherwise the act wlB do nicely for small time. Bight min- utes, In one. Third Row. i S. W. La Te«n and Company. Keith's Union Soda**, Bvbkino, Sept. 23. A good act, so far as La Yeen's feats of strength are concerned. He la a powerfully developed, clean cut chap, and accomplshes his work with case and grace. He is assisted by four men, one working with him In hand to hand balancing, and tbe other three as comedians. One of the bitter manages to get away with some good burlesque stuff while suspended on a wire, but La Veen could do without the other two. The act has the necessary material for the "big time," and after very little adjusting, should have no trouble getting dates. About fourteen min- utes, full stage. Tod. s The Three Loretta Twins. Hamaiebstbin's, Matinee, Sept. 23. It Is too bad these young women had to make their debut in last position on a long bllL However, we will see them again, and not In hist place. For seven minutes tbese three young women do giant swings and other difficult stunts on three horizontal bars, spaced about ten feet apart, with a tramplln bed running entirely across the stage. On hitting this bed they do backward and for- ward somersaults ia number. All three of these girls are pretty, two of them dress alike, in short dresses to the knees, while the third wears a country girl's make-up. A nice act that will take. Doc. s The Lads o' Melodic. Hahiikbstei.n's, Matinee, Sept. 23. Messrs. Benkhart, Gasklll, Shlsler and Reed, late of a "Pink Lady" company, have made their debut In vaudeville. Three of these gcrftlemcn put over some tuneful selec- tions, each using a piano. But the act seems to have been originated in order that the fourth gentleman, who sings, may be allowed to show some of the exaggerated styles In men's Summer clothes. The piano selections got over nicely. Thirteen minutes, in three. Doc. Proctor's Fifth Avenue Bill. Fob Week op Sept. 30. Manager Gus McCune has another top- notch bill arranged to enter upon the month of October. Beginning Monday matinee, Sept 30. the bill for tbe week will Include: Buss Whytal and company.
