The New York Clipper (December 1914)

DECEMBER 26 THE 2STEW YORK CLIPPER. FAREWELL TO VAUDEVILLE FOX # YANCSI DOLLY This Week, Hammer stein's Feature in New Winter Garden Show, New York McKINLEY SQUARE. (A. 8. RICHMOND, MGB.) (There was not the usual crowd here Mon- day night, Dec 21, possibly because no spe- cial Inducement was offered. Nevarre did some stunts on a tight rope and was applauded. AJ. Grossman, after a song, blackened hla face on stage and then gave some Bert Flti- albbons "stuff." He finished with a song, ■■Let's Help Each Other Along," and got a '""The^rb'row Back" was billed as a comedy dram sketch. The quarreling between hus- band and wife at the opening may have teen comedy, but the rest of the playlet was a most tense melodrama, from the begrimed villain to tie smooth-faced hero. Weston and Young, in songs, dance ana talk, got plenty of laughs, and their long, lasting tough waa very Infectious. Conrad and Mareena, Italian comedians. In songs and talk, went over big. They slDg "Shores of Italy?' and then one of the boys gives his own conception of an Italian boy and his Hebrew sweetheart singing "You Made Me Love Yon," with changes of "hat to represent each one. This was well received, and he gave (also his own conception) on imitation of David Warfleld singing the same song. They close with "The Bag Picker." The Two Dwlgbts were possible acrobats, but they talk too much. The pictures Included: "Other People a nusiness" (Keystone). "The Moccasin Print' (Frontier Fitojl "The Dog, Baffles" (Uni- versal), and "When Fate Was Kind" (Ec- lectic) Emil - ■ a Irving Place (Rudolf Christians, ngr.) The latest production at the German the- atre, Die Bpanieche Flieite (the German origi- nal of Lew Fields' "High Cost of Loving"), proved a tremendous laughing hit. The plot Is clever and full of complications, though somewhat too spicy at times. The entire cast, especially Herr Matthaes, as Ludwig hllnke; Lotte Fraedrlcbs, as his wife; Hertha Schon- feld, as their daughter; Christian Bub, si Aloi« Wlnwner (In an Indescribably funny make-up) ; Kichard Feist, as Dr. Gerlach, and Giitstav Paul ScliueU, as HelnrichMelscl. the Innocent and much mls-Judgcd cause of all the anilety and fuss, deserves much praise for their clever acting, though fault Bniat be found with Fraulclns Schoenfeld and Eben, who did not go to the trouble of chang- ing their costumes once throughout the entire performance, though twenty-four hoars are supposed to have elapsed between the first and the last two acts. It is these little things that count with the audience. Barolina. Comedy (B. TO. Long, bus. mgr.)—fc\>r her third offering Mnrie Tempest revived her great success- The Marriage of Kitty on Fri- day night, Dec. 18, and once more were we (permitted to see the brilliant nerfonnanco -tirbt Miss Tempest gives in the role of Bate fjtlvecton. Her fun making Is Infectious. W. GS-aham Browne gave a fine performance as Sir Reginald BelsTze, and the work of Kath- erlxie Kaelred, as the Peruvian widow, won her sincere applause. Herbert Boss, is John Trovers, Kate Sergeants on, as Boealle, a sew- ing maid, and Guy Newell, as the butler, did well. The comedy wa3 preceded by a one- set drama, The Dumb and the Blind, .by Harold Chaptn, who wrote "The Marriage of CokrajMne/'reeently seen at the Punch and Judy Theatre (New York). It Is a story or Cockney life, which only held the Interest of the audience because of the excellent acting of Mr. Browne and Nellie Moore, who played file role of a mud-barge worker and his wire, respectively.
