Bert Clark and Flavio Arcaro in musical comedy patter are amusing--extremely so-- from start to finish of a long act. The line "America's Youngest Star", advertising the next act rather prejudiced us against Mr. Georgie Price; we had visions of a knickerbockered in- fant prodigy. But any such fears were dispelled at his appearance. Mr. Price is young, to be sure, but only as young as most musical comedy stars are made up to be. His offering is a number of clever imitations of Broadway stars--Jolson, Leonard, Foy--and any one else that the audience asked...
Jack Donahue, the feather-footed dancer from the "Follies", exhibited his limberness to an enthusiastic audience, nor was his patter the least amusing part of his act. His unexpected appearance during the slack wire exhibition of the Levolos added a needed touch of humor to an otherwise ordinary performance. J. Rosamond Johnson and his five negro kings of syncopation strummed their banjos and pounded the keys in the noisiest and most approved style, to the satisfaction of their good-natured listeners. The other skits and song-and-dance acts, however, were hardly up to the usual Keith level...
Florence Moore, star comedience of "Breakfast in Bed", is the headliner at Keith's this week, offering some unusual songs and an above-the-average line of jokes. Her act seems a little breathless, however, especially in contrast with the easy-going patter of Jack Benney, who amuses highly without apparent effort. Palo and Palet, "Less Bouffons Musical" received the warmest reception of all on Monday night, after their offerings on the accordion, saxophone, clarinet, trombone, and other wind instruments. They played with a versatility and ease which astonished the audience and brought many rounds of applause. Franklyn and Charles...
...company, sang and displayed several brilliant gowns on Monday night. Marvel, a dumb mute, performed clever and difficult dances in the same act. Chester and Warren did acrobatic stunts; Caito Brothers jested and clog-danced; Mabel Burke sang; and Swift and Kelley offered "Gum Drops", and act filled with patter...
None of the other dancing can keep up with the standard set by the Mosconi's, but the Ara Sisters, in their own dancing creations, and James Donovan and Marie Lee, with dancing, singing, and Irish patter, were well received. In his monologue on the League of Nations, Tom Lewis gives an unusual and successful type of humor, while Katherine Murray contributes some very original songs and recitations. Other performers are George Kelly in a satire "The Flattering Word," Selbini and Grovini, who show "The Follies of Vaudeville," Dolly Grey and Bert Byron, and Keegan and Edwards...
