The New York Clipper (October 1913)

October 25 THE 23TEW YORK CLIPPER. It NEW VAUDEVILLE ACTS Wllkle Bard. HAwnatxiH's, Matinee, Oct. 20. It may be said at tbc outset tint Wllite Bard Is one of the greatest entertainers that the F "B 1|lh stage baa sent as and also toot the American public baa seen. He was visibly nervous, for be was showing his brand it goods to • class of buyers -who had to be convinced that tbej wanted them, and at the end of fifty minutes tbey were convinced that the goods he offered were "0. K." Mr. Bard la an eccentric comedian and singer In the truest sense of the word, and on his first appearance be proved be has the happy faculty of selecting material. All of the songs that be sings were written eipe- dally for film, and while man; of thcra have preceded him to America, It took WUkle Bard to get the "meat" oat of them. He has not what we would term a fine singing voice, bat be possesses the knack of getting them over, which in vaudeville is the main thing. His songs are really introduced In skits which abound in witty lines, all of them delivered In brilliant manner by Mr. Bard. His first song was "Hall. Smiling Morn," which be sang In a salt of white that re- sembled very closely the uniform of a New York street cleaner. 8ave for several black spots on bis eyelids and forehead, be had no facial make-up. In this song, or rather skit, be bad the add of two men (whose names were not on the program), dressed In grotesque dress suits of black, and a facial comedy make-up. Between then} they kept up a rapid-Ore conversation of how the song should be sung, with many witty lines falling; from the lips of Wllkle. His next song was the famous "Chrysan- themum." which scored an instant success. For this song, Mr. Bard has his own set, which shows the Interior of bis house. He Is coming home after a night with "the boys" under the Influence of liquor, and In order to square matters with bis wife, he Is carrying to her a huge bunch of cbrysaofbemuas. After the singing of the first verse the of- fering becomes a sketch. Bard Is afraid to enter the bouse boldly, so he timidly rings the bell and a maid comes to the door. Not recognizing him, she tells him that they are not buying flowers to-day, and closes the door In his face. Crushed, he rings again, and the maid comes to the window. This time she knows him, and tells him that the wife had just discharged her. Stiil drunk, Bard Invites her outside and they talk mat- ters over. She tells him that be Is not severe enough with hlB wife, and she proceeds to show blm what she would do if she were bis better half. Then follows some charming love making, which is embellished with lines that sparkle with rare wit. The offering comes to a close when a plumber comes along to fix a pipe in the house. He enters, and the wife, thinking that It Is her husband, proceeds to give him a beating (off stage). The curtain falls lost as Wllkle Bard walks off stage singing the chorus of ''Chrysanthe- mum." In this skit Mr. Bard also demonstrated tbst he is a dramatic actor of ability. The young woman who played the maid is uncom- monly pretty. But his biggest bit was when he asng "I Want to Slngln Opera," a catchy song that has long ago reached the New York stage, but it was never rendered so well before. To hear Mr. Bard (who is dressed in an out- landish "female" costume) render this song la alone worth the price of admission. Oar- ing the coarse of the song be delivers a funny monologue. He attempts to sing the second verse several times but the orchestra •prevents, and at last be decides to kill time until It Is ready by eating a sandwich. This Is one of the funniest thlqgs that be does, snd it kept the house in constant laughter. For an encore he was compelled to sing "The Wriggly Bag," which will toon be whistled all over town. To bring matters to a close, we venture to predict that Wllkle Bard will become na big a favorite In America as be la in Eng'and, and in tbat country be la the Idol of the "alia He opens In one, then to two, and closes in one. About fifty minutes. Kelocy. $10,000.00 We were of- fered for this number be- fore it was finished. That's the Watch the imitations. "CROSS THE GREAT ILL WAIT 6E0. W.
