ANTONIO. TEX. Majestle Geo A Mae Lefevre Chicago "Evening Post" By Charles Colling Another attractive participant In the performance is Eva Clark, the prima-donna, whose singing is bet- ter than any ever heard in a New York revue. She is a coloratura so- prano; she has most of the Galli- Curci tricks; and her voice Is rich, lovely and admirably trained. I am willing to sit thru the second act of "Satires of 1920" again just for the sake of hearing Miss Clark sing. Chicago "Evening American" By The Optimist A real prima donna Is Miss Eva Clark, and at one point In the per- formance she accomplished that de- sirable thing known as 'stopping the show.' Let no one lead you to be- lieve that Chicago crowds do not know and desire the best, and as proof it is interesting to know that the aforementioned feat was per- formed by the singing of a real classic, * Lo, the Gentle Lark." Variety By Jack Lait Eva Clark has a heavenly voice., etc., etc Chicago "Journal of Commertta* By Henrietta Weber And then the "prima donna" of the show Is asked to sing a song, and does. She is Miss Eva Clark, with a voice that would sound well in grand opera. There is grace and power there now, and the unusual beauty of the voice quite takes the audience by surprise. She is cer- tainly a musical sensation in an en- vironment where one expects only the customary popular song sing- ing. Ban Francitco "Bulletin" By Walter A. Rivers EVA CLARK DELIGHTS One of the big and delightful sur- prises of the production is the sing- ing of Eva Clark. Here is one of our own artists who for the past two or three years has been accepted mat- ter-of-fact. Last night she hit that audience squarely between the eyes with her vocalism In the rendition of "Lo! Hear the Gentle Lark." When she took the high C with an ease and power fairly amazing, there was a hurried reference to programs immediately following the thunderous applause.

Mr. Welch docs a stage Jew in conven- tional fashion. The mother is ade- quately played, and the juvenile very well dene, except for a ten- dency to read lines a trifle too loud. Cunningham and Bennett have developed into a standard double. Miss Bennett got the female side of the house the moment she stepped into view with the classiness of her costuming, and Mr. Cunningham caught the male vote with his nat- ural, easy-going manner of delivery. Kacn time around Cunningham and Bennett add a new bit or two, in that way keeping the act fresh. A nifty little travesty on the crime wave was productive of plenty of laughs, and a medley of pop songs written by Mr. Cunningham made a first rate getaway. Harry Puck and Co. (New Acts) were fifth, and Hughes and Debrow, a blackface combination, next to closing. In framing up their turn, Hughes and Debrow borrowed from no one. The act starts as A double of the conversational type, and later goes to "two," where .here is a chicken stealing bit full of real character. The comic, Debrow, is a loose-join ted moke, natural ia movement and different in style from the regulation. This pair should climb rapidly. Tony and George (New Acts) closed.
