The New York Clipper (January 1915)

.. i •:• JANUAB Y 16 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. (BUI f. BOQEB3. JlOB.j I It wasn't 10 vt(7 long ago that danclnij acta were given the erram spot on the pro- gram here, but this week thi opening posi- tion was given over to a dancing trio. Tho real solid hit of the bill was captured by Orvllle flarrold. In his daisy offering of classy songs. It wu his Initial appearand here, and the large audience Just coulfia't et enough of bis splendid singing. (Hco (ew Acta.) Mr. <ind Mrs. Jack McGrcevcy, In their side-splitting country skit, were easily a laughing hit. It can be quoted as being ono of the greatest novelties In vaudeville at the present time. Iloth give an almost perfect characterization oi farm folk?. Joe Jackson (an always be depended upon to get the laughs, and at the Monday mutl- lcc seemed to go better than ever. He has almost tlie same act that he has been doing for the past lire years, with the exception of bis opening. On bis appearance the curtain is raised In xlg-tag fashion, which evokes much laughter.

In a ore act peace playlet, "Thou 8halt Sot Kill,"' recorded one of the biggest hits at this house. <8ea New Acts.) Chafes and Fannie Van, in their "Caso ot Emergency," found It rather bard going at times, but at the finish "got thorn" and they walked away with a fair sized hit. Ihe Gardiner Trio, In their own creation of the modern dances, were In number ouo petition, and for an opener received mure applause than any act that has appeared here In that position. All three nr«» iinishri nrtlets and executed some new dances that were well liked. Richard Ilavcmsrm and his lions and tigers. In the closing position, mado them rit up nnd take notice with bis inarvelous work. The art Is a feature from Btart to 1nl«h, nut hold the audience seated until the llnal stunt. The llenrst-Sellg Weekly, showing current happenings, was Interesting. Jacl: (BIBT TOU.NO. MQH.) Manager Bert Young can go ahead anil feel as proud as he likes about the show be has up In Harlem this week, for there's not a dull moment from the time Leon Spragdo and Nellie McNeece open the bill, wltb their corking good roller skating turn, till tho Rcsc Valcrlo Sextette of double wire per- formers close it up Just ahead of the Hearst- gellg Weekly. Ben Ityan and Harriet Lee cleaned tip. Monday nlgbt, and when it is considered what strength lies in the nine act bill that holds sway hero this week, why, Ryan and Lee are worth a "million' dollars for the way they followed hits scored ahead of their cext-to-closlng spot. Rosle Lloyd, on No. 2, entirely too earl;, was a great big success in her deliveries of "Winter Night," "What Will the Harvest Be," "It Takes An Irish Lass to Sing >n. Irish Song" and "Wonder Why." Hiss Lloyd's gowns are beautiful, although pins satin slippers didn't "lit In" on her opening "Winter 1 number, for which she wore a black fur-trimmed white suit and hat and carried a muff. Nary a Lloyd has any more richer personality about her than Rente. She's a leading "slngle-lu-vaudeville," and we thought Will Ward and his five girls would have hard going following her Monday night. All wrong, for Ward's playing of piano, nnd voice, and Wardls wards' playing made theni the same enjoyable musical success. Tho medley of Irish songs sung alone by Ward, with the girls posed around him, closes the set strong. He had a lot of fan kidding a new .member In the act Monday nlgbt, audi the Albambraltcs appeared to like it. Kail and West followed. Ball and West have had all tbo best tilings said about their "Since the Days ot '01" offering. Ball and West are the same as ever. Lew Madden and Jimmy Fltxpatrlck never showed to better advantage in their "eigh- teen karet-surronnded-wlth-dlamonda" sketch, "Tho Turn of the Tide." It's a gem of the first water, with tbo tide running In their favor all the way. Mike Coaklcy, Lou Hanvey and Joe Dun- levy opened the second halt of tho .show, and their soegs, gags and dancing was twenty minutes of lively black face fun. A trio of boys 'way up top In the minstrel line Evelyn Nesblt and Jack Clifford got morn applause than we ever witnessed their get- ting at other local houses. Just ahead of Hyan and Lee and the valerlo Sextette, Home show, I said, Bert. Tod. H AJVIAlE> R S T E> IIV' (S. (LONJ8X HAdlilvLL, MOB.) A vaudeville show beginning at 2.15 and running without Intermission until 5.40 Is soino length. That Is what they gave at Ilammersteln's on Monday afternoon. Th? performance began with a Keystone comedy film, entitled "Rum and Wall roper," which was very funny. Mendal and Naglc, two young men dressed as Italian street musicians, were the first to appear. The act pleased. It would be mora effective If the men wore more attractive costumes. /One of tbem tries bard to Inject comedy In bis work, but be is no comedlau. John and Winnie Hennlngs scored so heavily that they will undoubtedly be awnrd- eu a better spot on the hill for the rest ot the week. air. Hennlngs docs most of thn work, and he is a true comedian. As an eccentric dancer he can dance with the best of tbem. He Is thin and tall, and this greatly aids his peculiar brand of tun-making. The ludy does not do much beyond playing a cornet, which she does skillfully. They both sing, but neither of them has'a good slnirlng voice. The audience liked the act immensely. Owing to a sltgbt accident to Grace Tyson . during the beginning of their act (Mc Waiters and Tyson), they were compelled to cancel. They were succeeded on Monday night oy the Three Keatons, who will, of course, re- main for the rest of the week. Marshall Montgomery still gives ample Eroof that be Is without question one of the est ventriloquists America has product d. His act was much applauded, as It deserves to be. , , Of Juliette Dika's act, reference Is made In our New Act column. Keller Mack and Crank Orth, tbo voudc- villlaus and song writers, were easy winners with their specialty, "The Wrong Hero." Mr. Orth is one of the best "nut" comedians It has been our privilege to see In a long time. Mr. Mack Is an excellent straight niun. The act got many laughs. Bessie Wynn was, of course, a prime fa- vorite with the audience, for lew women can put over a song as well as sh>;. Her songs were all good, and for good measure she sang several verses from her old hits. George Holland, assisted by Billy Kelly and Graco Bennett, won the rowedy honnis of the afternoon with the act entitled "fix- ing the furnace." The man or woman who can look at this act without laughing should seek Ihe services of a pbyilclitu Immediately. Both Holland and Kelly, as two furnace men, are very lunny. The Long Tack Sam company Is held over for a second week, which Is In Itself strong evidence that the act la a successful one. Slgunr Bagonghl, the dwarf equestrian, came on very late, but found that tho audi- ence still had many laugbs left. Ho wou many of them by his comedy riding, and he also received applause for his "straight' bareback riding. Those two excellent colored comedians, Slielton Brooks and Clarence Bowen, were next to closing, which is a very bad spot at tiauitnersteln's, but, despite this, they scored heavily. They are good singers. One of them is a clever dancer, and tho other can irakl" a niuno sing with melody. of Tarro Mlyako, a Jlu Jltsu wrestler, who xnado his drat appearance in this country, we speak In our New Act column.
