The New York Clipper (April 1913)

14 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. April 12 NEW VAUDEVILLE ACTS "The Bachelet Mystery." Uakeb, Dover, N. J. This entirely novel stage attraction lias been shown Id a number of theatres, and the various demonstrations of the unseen force which has been mastered by Hods. Uachelet, the eminent scientist, after years of expen- sive experiments, hare caused astonishment vith nil classes of audiences. Experts to the various industries have passed upon the demonstrations and pronounced them as won- derful. From a showman's point of view the entertainment la also a complete success, as nothing like It has ever been seen before. The attractive apparatus, consisting; of vari- ous scales, musical bells, tables, etc., hold attention. The lecturer, B. C. Walck, In a Jirlcf discourse on the principle* Involved, Introduces the first display, which consists of the playing of musical bcOls by a set of disks, propelled by the unseen force. Heavy strips of metnl are suspended In the air, nbove the various colls: dishes are made to hop about mid cannot be forced back upon the coll; grnvlty Is entirely overcome, as shown bj scales; disks of metal are lifted out of a bowl of water In which gold fish arc swimming about, nnd other effects are shown, as described in these columns before the Invention was staged. The possibilities for tomedy effects Are groat, both with the tricks themselves and with their effect upon the bona fltlc committee invited to step upon I he xtsge at every performance, helped along by a frightened regular. Several little slip- ups occurred last Thursday, but these defects can be easily overcome. The net is renlly a mystery to any audi- ence, as the wires are Ingeniously concealed in the rug, nnd nearly nil vibration caused by the current Is eliminated. A car, which, It Is claimed, could travel four or five hundred miles, suspended in the air by a series of these colls, was also shown. John I. Whitfield, of "Magic Kettle" fame, is the manager for this act. s Inn Claire. Pabk, Monday Matinee, Arnir. 7. Ina Claire, who will bo remembered as the lending woman, of "The (junker Girl," and before that one of the vaudeville features of the late lamented Kolies Ilergorc, is holding down the headline position at the Park this week and nlso next. While nature has de- nied her a singing voice, she bns been blessed with other gifts. She la one of the prettiest and most graceful young women on the stage, and she bus a charm that In Irresistible. She renders her songs In a pleasing manner, but it Is when she gives her Imitations of stage fnvorltcs that she wins out her audi- enco. In this pttrttculnr line slip stands with the best of them. She gave a llfe-llkc Im- personation of Al .1 olson snd Onby Drslys, but her host wbb that of Harry Lauder. Her Scotch dialect Is (lawless. At the con- clusion of her net she wan compelled to mnke a speech. Rho first appeared In tho (Junker costume that she wore In "Tho (junker Girl," and then she changed to a simple but exceedingly pretty Summer gown. She also dances well. There Is no doubt tlint she will prove a strong drawing card during her two weeks' stay at tho I'ark. In two, about twelve minutes. No orchestra accompaniment, but man at piano.

Tho offering Is called "College Lovo," nnd runs sixteen minutes, In one. It Is sparkling, mmpjiy and full of real humor. Both per- formers arc clever dancers and good singers.
