The New York Clipper (March 1914)

12 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. March 7 THE GAYETY GIRLS. COLUMBIA. HBW YORK, MARCH 2. "Schmidt's Widows" Is the burlesque, with the following cast: Kudolph Schmidt Gus Fay John James Jones Eugene Jergo Terrence McNab Billy Kelly Bud Tliomas Hodgeman Betty, the shop girl Edyth Hamilton Mrs. Flossie Schmidt Ada Lum Mrs. Susie Schmidt Ifie Williams Mrs. Beauty Wright NelUc Florede Models and Shop dirts—Morgan Sisters, Cattell Bisters, La Vann, Cushman, Mayers, Larmon, Griffin, Marlon, Kelly, Wilson. Hel- dclle, rierce, Harrington, Chapman, Wilson, Wall, May, waldron, lhirnham, Glenn, Stokes. The plot Is very meagre, but It gives Qus Fay a chance to be funny as the fat German tailor, and to disguise himself for a few moments with a beard as a doctor. Eugene Jerge appears to excellent advan- tage as the straight; Billy Kelly plays a perfunctory Irishman. Edyth Hamilton was a gingery soubrette ehop girl; Ada Lum was one of the wldo.vs; Jlae Williams Is a buxom and comely singer. Nellie iFloredc eaxig well as the prima donna, and appeared well In a number of at- tractive gowns. The numbers In tho first act were "Regi- ment Bond," by Mr. Jerge; "Girl from Arl- sons," by Miss Florede; "Rudolph Schmidt," by Mr. Fay : "Get Out and Oet Under," put over In lively manner by Miss Hamilton and (he active chorus, to several encores; "Tho Cat Duo," wlUi ''Nobody Lovs Me-Ow," fea- tured by Mr. Fay and Miss Hamilton, with several chorus girls selected to do the chorus; "Rosclanu," well sung by Miss Will- lams end Mr, Jerge, with the girls In showy rose costume; a singing; ana talking sex- tette, and "Picnic Day," with the ladles' band, American flag, etc., to a lively finish. Ike Wall made a big hit playing the detec- tive in the bomb skit,*although not billed on the program. The olio had Jergo and Hamilton In their cntchy act, singing 'iComo and Kiss Your Llttlo Baby;" "Kentucky Eyes," by Mr. Jerge, with a fine dance by Miss Hamilton, I ana a good double finish. The Interna-1 tlonnl Musical Maids played a brass quar-1 tette, "The Horary" solo, on tbo French horn, | accompanied by tho chime, was a big bit, and tho brass selections, by six, In which the talky eyed drummer girl stood out, served as encore getter, Nellie Florcdo opened with "Mother Ma- chrce," then rang "Your Loving Daughter Handy," and finished with her trump ace, "My Hero," striking tbo Wgti notes trae as steel. Tho second act Is a cabaret scene, the opening song, Introducing four KusKlnn dancers and four Americans. "Gambling Man" was' Bung by Miss Wlllnmn; "This Is the Life." served Miss Hamilton as another winner. Qua Fay did "Fall Blver Lino" with the choruB, frequently Interrupted by the Circe man bond, with Ike Wall non- chalcntly playing the bass drum; Miss Hamil- ton, In a natty black dancing suit, led tho eight buck and wing hoofers. In white. For tho finale, Nellie Florede. In UpJhtB, sang "The ncart of Maryland," with tho girls in full tights doing march movements. Qus Fay enjoyed that part of tho show from a scat In tho aisle. A slRsy" scene be- tween Mr. Jerge and Mr. Fay was amusing. A table scene alii not do so much. Tbo band worked on full tlmo at tho drop of the cur- tain. Tho staff: Bob Simons, manager; William Vail, agent; Eugene Jerge. stage manager; Melville Browne, musical dlroctor; Qus F«y, dance producer; Joe Mullen carpenter; Will- iam Hauford, electrician ; Iko Wall, property manager; Allco Wilson, wardrobo mistress. MANAGER MACK SUMMONED. Another gun In tho campaign against Sun- flny shows was tired this week, when J. Herbert Mack, president of tho Columbia Amusement Co. and manager of tho Columbia. Now York, was bnnded a summons March 2, to appear In court, on a charge of violating tho Sunday Law. The "concert" at ttio Co- lumbia, on March 1, included an acrobatic act, a big girl act. in tights, etc., and other acts, tho presentation of which could bo con- strued to im a violation of tbo statutes. Tho outcome, will be wutched with great In- terest by local managers, who bnvo thus fur enjoyed tho extremely liberal Interpretation Bulletin for Box Office Reference Concerning Oliver Morosco's Enterprises CORT THEATRE.

NKW VAUDEVILLE ACTS AND REAPPEARANCES ( Oontinucd on page ts.) Maurice Snmnels and CompanyJn "A Day on Ellis Island." Fulton, HrooklvN, Matinbh. Mabcti 2. Owing to the big storm Samuels' scenery did not arrive In time for the Monday nnttlnee, so the act used on Interior set furnished by tho house, and wag a big bit on their re-appearance here. The story tells of an Italian woman and a boy arriving In tills country, and owing to tbo woman not having tho necessary dollars required by all emigrants, she Is about to bo deported, when her sweetheart arrives at Ellis Island, showing docu- ments providing that he marries her within thirty ilnyn after tho death of an uncle he is to rccelvo $r,o,0oo, and the "Inspectors" agree to tho wishes of both and the ceremony. Good business remains abundantly throughout tbe sketch. Mnurleo Samuels Is a wonderful im- personator of tbe Italian character, and be never once gets away from his study. Toe Inspector, a gruff sore of a part, Is well taken care of, as welt as the Irish officer, who la Indeed made successful by a man who alto "doubles" In tbe prleit part with cuuully good results. Mr. Samuels la excellent as tho Immigrant, and tbo boy is a clever Juvenile performer. Ills violin specialty, using "I Miss You Most of All," "Got Out and Oct under" and "International Rag," went big, He is a musician of merit. Samuels worked up One comedy during Its entirety. It Is worthy of being classed "a laugh a minute comedy," as It Is extraordinarily bright and hugely funny. A decided hit over the brllge Monday afternoon, taking four curiam, calls. Twenty-seven minutes, full stage. fits'. s 1 Alleen Stanley. Biotobo, Buookltn, Hattnbb, Maich I. Making her entrance wearing a pretty evening gown of pink over white, with a handsome white silk coat and white lace cap, for "This Is tbe Life," Mum Stanley won her audience at this house at once. "1 Do" followed, without coat, and went big. "That Isn't What He Said" was another good one, Then Miss Stanley, with the assistance of a chair, put over a parody on "Get Out and Get Under," alternately la JewlBh and Irish dialect, and It was a real big bit for her. For an encore this clever young lady ottered "Sal- vation Nell," In wblcb alio worked up s lot of good business, and scored a great success. Mils Stanley Is a tall, shapely, and attractive young lady who lias the dexterity of knowing how to put a number over. Twelve minutes. In one. Bit. 1 Dresser, Wallace and Company, la "In WatsonvlIIe." Pbootob'b 120th Stbbxt, Feu. 27. Tho plot of this comedy sketch deals with ths desires of one Percy Hastings, a rural dude, to eecuro a "city gal" for a wife, so he puts a matrimonial advertisement In a New York paper, and Helen Hargrave Brown applies and Is advanced raldroad fare. Tho action passes la Robert Stevens' law office In Wotsonvllle, a small country town, and hers Percy discloses his plan to tbo lawyer. In short, Helen arrives, falls immediately In love wltb the lawyer, and Percy Is the goat. The Idea Is weak and, although Frederick Wal- lace and Edward Dresser do west Is poasiblo la Iho ruba and lawyer roles, respectively, Ibey cannot hope for better than threc-a-day. Mary Walk played Helen. Thirteen minutes. Toil. s Hln-lt Life "4." Bijou, Buooklyn, Uatineu, ran, 27. Fern* One looking fellows doing a grout singing act. They open with "Vlrgbilo," which roes over ■well. "OR With the Old Love. On With the Now," by one member, was very good. A medley of popular numbers follows by all four Is a go. "Would You Tuko Mo Buck Again T" by oue iron, goes over flue. They end with "Dixieland" and) "Obcvunenke Bay." The High Life "4" are as clever a quartet as any In vaudeville to-dny. They all have One voices, and know how to put numbers over, and best of nil Ibey bamioiilrc. The boys weur neat business suits of one color and style. The art la classy, and one that Is bound to go.

Be-appesrlng locally with the same running of the act as when It wss first reviewed In 1010, but featuring Jack Dempaey, a comedian and soft shoe dancer. Baa Burke's girls found a warm spot with the attendance on above date. Dcmneey works with an air of confidence, with a revival of past performances, but his person- ality makes It get by strongly. The numbers of the girls need rearranging. They are a lively half dozen pretty girls, and with newer songs and costumes would overcome that handicap. The numbers with the bells concealed in a fence be- fore the lake drop, ts retained and the girls play- ing the "bells" with their feet while lying on their backs, helps out nicely. The baseball bit could bo worked up much stronger, thoush an- other might substitute it with better results. Nineteen minutes, full stage. Toi. B 1 Bertha Kullch. Palace, Mondai Evenino, March 2. Presenting a condensed version of "Marlunn," Berths Kallch made her uret appearance at this hoaso Monday, March 2, and was little short of a sensation. Her selection of a sketch for bcr Initial performance bare lias bten well choFen. Her company Is good and lend her excellent sup- port. In tho character of Mnrlana, a reveu^eful wife. Miss K nil ell has seldom been seen to greater advantage. Her acting was at times vesy forceful, ond showed oft her talent to perfection. Chief among her enpport is Frank Andrews ond John ElaTrlngton, both men acting their character* In a convincing manner. Tbo act runs stiout thirty minutes, on full stage.

Mnk-'ng a new tram In vaudeville thla clever pair made their first New York anpesranee to- gether and presented one of tho roost entertaining acts of this kind ever given In this bouse. Songs sad dancing form the foundation of their per- formance, and as both have been commented upon In these columns many times, It only re- mains to be said that both duplicated tbe success that has always attended tbclr efforts In this city. A new rong. Introduced by Mr. White, en- titled "Push It Along," sounds like one of Iboas quick lire kind, and went over with a bang. The act reus about eighteen minutes. Jack. a 1 Three Ncvarnoa.

In a maid part, knte-Iengtb Ores, apron, etc., does what sro Is allotted her, very well. The act could have a better idea written around It, as It stands the reason for working In Interior set appears odd. Eight min- utes. Toi , s ——■ Harvard Trio. Oatbtt, Brooklyn, Niour, Frn, 2d.

City Treasurer Wm, MoOoach, of Phila- delphia, recently sent out an order. Baying every public place having one or more pianos, must have a theatrical license costing $600. This would not only apply to the cafes, but means that songs can not be demonstrated in moving picture bouses, department stores nnil five ond ten cent stores. This means a temporary, if not permannt stop to music plugging. 4 ■» A NEW COASTER CO.
