The New York Clipper (November 1912)

14 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. November 9 NEAV VAUDEVILLE ACTS Mile. Irene Bordoni. WlNTO GARDBN, FEIDAY NlOHT, NOT. 1. (Drett reheartal.) Wile. Bordoni comes direct to the Winter Garden from the Theatre deg Ctpuclncr, Paris. She made her bow to so Invited audi- ence of crltles and friends of the manage- ment at the Winter Garden, on Friday night, Not. 1, at a dress rehearsal, after the close of the performance of "The Passing Show of 1012." She appeared In a pantomime, called 'The First Affair," a pretty offering with but one Mot upon it, and that waa the costume worn by the prehistoric man, which was played by Emll Agoust, the Winter Garden's ballet master. We will not attempt to de- scribe the costume. To put it mildly, tt left little to the Imagination. The Shubcrts have given orders that In future performances a covering of akin will replace it The act runs about fifteen minutes, anil the scene is laid In a rustic glade In pre- 'historic times. This scene is one of rnro Ibeauty. In the branches of the trees about Bis teen girls, supposed to be monkeys, are (Jumping and swinging. The story Is Hint of the first meeting of a pretty and graceful -woman, wearing an abbreviated costume. ITer limbs arc bare. The prehistoric man meets her. They are both strange beings to one another. He attempts to kill her -with a heavy club, but she fascinates him. The curtain falls as he carries her a captive to his cave. Thcro 1b very little dancing to the act The Frenchwoman is very pretty and grace- ful. "The First Affair" gives her very little opportunity for the display of her talents, but we have been assured by several persons who have seen her abroad, that she Is "there." •Mr. Agoust's reputation as a dancer is too well known for lengthy mention here at this late day. His facial make-up is that of an Irish comedian. "The First Affair," which is pretty but not a sensation, was given its flrst public per- formance on Saturday night, Nov. 2. The offending costume was replaced by a covering of skins. The dramatic construction la credited to W. Cronln Wilson, and the music by W. Leonard Chalk is melodious. Thtrd Row. Henry Woodruff and Company. Palace Mdsic Hall, Chicago, Oct. 28. Henry Woodruff, a well known light comedy star, made his flrst big city entrance Into vaudeville with a sketch, entitled "A Regu- lar Business Man." This act was offered on tt benefit bill for the Actors' Fund, at the Auditorium Theatre, with Douglas Fair- banks In the leading role, last Summer^ The present engagement, however, is the first regular vaudeville performance that the play- let has ever bad. Mr. Woodruff fits nicely Into the role of the careless young man who lias becu wasting his tunc and money with the pretense of running nn vfBce, until he Is finally brought to the realization of the con- ditions of hla affairs by the protests of his offlce assistant. With the usual farce com- edy license he proceeds to make more money In the next hour than he has In. the past year, outwItB a villain, saves a poor widow's fortune, and becomes a regular business man. Margaret Lotus was seen In the part of tbe stenographer, James Brophy was tbe grasp- ing business man, and Isabelle West played the worried widow. It runs about eighteen minutes, on full stage. Pat. Peggie Lonxile, In "Cleoimtra'n Needle," lUilMKItBTEIN'S, MaTI.NEBj NOV. 4. The scenery In this act shows a temple on the banks of the Nile, with the pyramids 10 be seen In the distance. Very nice. Millie Mnrcuont (Peggie Lcnnlo) has arrayed her- self as Cleopatra, to havo some fun with her lover, Percy Summertop (Walter Hass). Dur- ing their Interview he tells her that he loves her. Later he finds oat the Impersonation, and gets back by assuming the person of Mark Antony. We supposo they live happy ever after. Throughout the Bkctch, which runs for fifteen, minutes, there are many clever lines and several songs. Miss Lcrnle danced and sang "The Egyptian Glide," and I lass rendered a solo in good voice. The music is by Julian Wilson, and the book by Mr. Hunt. The act will undoubtedly take. Doc. Irene D'Arville. Union Squaee, Nov. 4. 1 Tills talented young woman Is a new as- pirant tor vaudeville honors In character Im- personations, and if we may judge from the calibre of her offering on Monday, she will experience no trouble In winning metropolitan favor. She gave four impersonations, changing her characters in full view of the audience, ; ami each character assumed was accompanied i by a nifty song, pnt over in first class style, I nnd with an excellent singing voice. r MIbs D'Arville worked In n scene boxed in with her own setting. Her costumes were rich in color and tex- ture, and her work scored a ulce little hit She closed with a ride off stage, in a minia- ture automobile, quite a novel finish. Old Timer. Hike Donlln and Tom Lewis. Union Square, Monday, Nov. 4. These two well known men in *helr profes- sional lines of work formed a partnership some weeks ago, and have played several en- gagements In Western vaudeville houses. Tbe matinee of Nov. 4, at this theatre, however, was their flrst metropolitan appear* a nee as a duo. They were very cordially received on their first entrance, Mr. Lewis assuming his usual "souse," while Mr. Donlln was the "straight'' clad In swell evening dress. Some snappy dialogue occurred between them, which got over nicely. Then the fun commenced In earnest, with Tom Lewis doing burlesque imitations, hu- morously described by Mr. Donlln. This por- tion of their act was screamingly funny. Then Mr. Donlln read a few letters sent to blm by aspiring baseball tyros, and they closed with a burlesque ventrlloqulal bit, with Tom Lewis as the dummy, "trying" to sit on Mr. Donlln's lap. This caused the entire audience to roar with laughter, and they were called back to receive a huge floral horseshoe, with their names and the inscription, "Good Luck," thereon. Old Timer.

Tom Terrlss and Company. Union Square, Nov. 4. Mr. Terrlss Is well known both In England and America as an actor of ability, and in his present character of "Scrooge," in an adaptation of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," his acting Is well nigh perfection. His impersonation of the old miser roused the audience to great enthusiasm on Monday, nnd he was obliged to make a speech at the close of the sketch. Mr. Terrlss also staged the sketch very correctly, and carries a company of fifteen. Tbe story of "A Christmas Carol" is too well known to be recounted here. Mr. Terrlss and his company made it vivid and appeal- ing, and at the end the acting of Mr. Terrlss, in changing from a miser to an open-hearted, kindly old man, was well conceived and cleverly executed. There were curtain calls for Mr. Terrlss, and his entire company at the close of the thirty-five minute sketch, and it was during these that Mr. Terrlss made his little speech of thanks, which was a gem in Its way. Old Timer. ■ Tom Dingle and the Esmeralda Sisters. Hamuebstein's, Matinee, Nov. 4. In a singing and dancing specialty, staged In two, this young man and these two ex- ceptionally graceful and pretty young women, offered an act which will be very welcome to vaudeville. They open together with a song. Tben each of the three does a dancing spe- cialty. All are accomplished dancers, and the closing number, done by an, was hearlly applauded by an audience hard to please. Dingle appears In evening dress, and the girls In knee length dresses. Twelve minutes of excellent entertainment. Doo. The Powers. HAUusnsTBiN's, Matinee, Nov. 4. Two men, who make their appearance be- fore a black pluBh curtain and show some wrestling holds. They are well built men, and show some good feats of strength. They close their act by doing stunts on ladders, and those who waited until the close of the show were well pleased. Ten minutes, in three. Doe. Circus news. PCBILLONBS' CIRCUS, HAVANA. On the Ward Line steamer Saratoga, Nov. 2, the following people left for Havana, Cuba: Al.

Chicago, Nov. 2.—Charles N. Kramer (pro- fessionally known as Conway), the circus clown, has confessed that he lulled Sophia 8lnger. Kramer claimed self defense for the deed. He said that he knocked Miss Singer down when she attacked him with a razor, after he had rebuked her for making a suggestion to Mrs. Kramer to go out with her and meet some men. He exonerated his wife from all blame In connection with the crime. He said that he did not Intend to kill Miss Singer, and that he bound and gagged her after she had fallen to prevent her making an outcry; He said he took $35 from her purse and two suits of clothes belonging to W. R. Worthen, Miss Singer's fiance, because he waa penniless and was Bhabblly clad. He said that he and his wife fled through tbe alley, hoping to get away before Miss Singer revived, and that when they fled they had no idea MIbs Singer was dead. This confession supplements that of Kra- mer's wife, msde a day or two previously. GOVERNOR ROBINSON'S GOOD CHEER. Governor John Robinson, known from ocean to ocean, has been declared bankrupt by Referee Whlttaker, of the Cincinnati courts. The Governor declares he is not bankrupt— that It isn't his troubles, but the troubles of the Second National Bank into which he was plunged, that are responsible for all the muddle. Tbe Governor says If he is not pushed, Robinson's Big Shows will take the road In 1018, bigger and better than ever. Milton Sater, the Governor's attorney and assignee, is endeavoring to get an orderly settlement of all the claims. ■ > ■ ■ Complete roster of the Barnum A Bailey No. 1 car, which closed the season in Meri- dian, Miss., Oct 22: A.

CITY Downs & Whkblir Noras. — After a highly successful sesson of thirty-two weeks, during which time it traversed the entire Eastern portion of the United States from Maine to Georgia, the Downle A Wheeler Shows are now snugly stored away In their commodious and convenient Winter quarters at Oxford, Pa., where at this early date plans are already well under way for en- larging and improving the outfit In every department for Its 1913 tour. Capt H. Snider will again be In charge of the quar- ters, while the work of rebuilding the equip- ment will be under the supervision of George Coy which In itself is a guarantee that every piece of property will be in perfect condition before It will be allowed to reach the paint shops. Another elephant and several more cages of animals will be added to the already extensive collection, and sev- eral new trained animal numbers will be perfected during the Winter months. The "World's Best" will make Its Spring debnt In an entire new dress of canvas from cook tents to big top—In fact, no expense will be spared to make this the neatest show In its class for Its next season's tour.
