Variety (March 1918)

r VARIETY 33 / WE'VE BUILT A REPUTATION as publishers- of Irish song successes second to none in the world and thru them have become known as THE HOUSE OF IRISH HITS so it stands to reason that we are unusually core/of before announcing a new one to our singing friends in the Profession will surely add to this reputation, as it is without doubt 1 one of the most beautiful and sympathetic Irish Ballads, from every standpoint, that we have ever published and will equal if not surpass in popularity any of the great successes we 9 ve given you up to now. * The lyric by PHIL. H. ARMSTRONG will surely appeal to not alone every Irish heart, but to every lover of a good poem, white the music by DANIEL 7. SULLIVAN, is typically Irish and as Vowing and singable as you could wish for, with a "punch" climax that every singer will revel in.

Goodhue, the dancing banjolat, opened. His neat appearance helped. George and May Le Fevre were second with dancing. The act looks good, barring George's eccentric num- ber. In which he does a "nance." This should be cut. at least the make-up. It failed to get a laugh, and laughs are something the act doesn't need. Ma re ton and Manley, a good looking girl, and an English comedian, were well received with patter and two or three ex- clusive songs. Tho star act was "The Unfair Sex," a comedy sketch, well taken by Maggie Le Claire. Katherlne Osborne and Oscar Brlggs. One of the best acta here in a long time. Burns Sisters and Lou, piano-turn that bears tho earmarks of a Chautauqua tour but with tho variety offered by the rest of the bill, they wor«* liked. Fred and Mho Waddell's opening number might be changed for some- Fred Tracy (Tracy and Carter) has pur- chased an Interest In the Flsk Music Pub- lishing Co. here, and expects to be located In the city permanently.
