Concerning a Real
Personality of the Stage >-
Sometimes a personality flashes
across the vaudeville stage which
+ nearly staggers one.
That is what Margaret Padula did
to me and many others al the Palace
yesterday.
Here Is a woman who is a pianist,
but she is rare artist in putting person
ality over the footlights. She sings
individual songs, yes-but each song
connects up with the major idea-how
to win and hold a man. She proves
that it can be done by voice, by
whistling by singing, by the eye and
by the smile.
This woman knows how to dress.
She knows how to have the lights
played upon her and the piano so as
to give an "at-home effect. Marga-
ret Padula can stop any show any
time she pleases. She knows just how
much to give an audience. Now you
know just what I think of this re
markable woman.
Arthur Alexander and company open
their Offering with a plantation scene
and then shift to Broadway. One of
| the men Is a female impersonator.
This act carries its own jazz band.
One Of the men does a good Shuttle
Along" impression in dancing.
The Primrose Four are singers.
Their voices harmonic nicely. When
the show was reviewed one OF the
/ singers appeared to be rather in q
/ bad temper. This was NOTICED when
/ bows were taken and also he seemed
/ to enjoy to mutter things to other
members of the Quartette. These
singers should be a sensation. Let
everybody be happy.
| Dewitt, Burns and Terrence have
q novelty Offering which they call
Fun in a Toy Shop" Nicely done.
Kingston and Ember appear in
Pleasure Bent" Tho man gives a
good impression Of a band. Gordon
and Day rightly bill their act ''Mirth-
| full Nonsense"
The movie features OF the Palace
bill include IF I Were Queen" and
Scholars at Work and Play"
Santrey and Band
Return to Keith's.
Henry Santrey and his band are
again the interesting visitors at
/ Keith's.
This band appeared at Keiths
earlier in the season. The routine Is
about the same as on the previous
visit. This act did big business earlier
in the season. Santrey has a way
about him which has made him rec
/ ognized as one OF the few real leaders
/ in vaudeville music. His musicians
know how and when to play. He
sings. recites, directs and smokes sew
eral cigars. It Is tho same old re-
sult-stops the show.
! I enjoy Santrey best when he IS
/ conversing with Anna Seymour. Here
is delightful fun It is not on the
program. but 1t happens after San
trey's regular act. Also after the
regular turn Of Miss Seymour. Here
IS splendid clowning. 1t IS the choic-
est article at Kelth's this week
In considering the efforts Of Miss
/ Seymour with her partner. Harry Sey-
mour. we must acknowledge that II
! is Miss Seymour who creates the big
/ impression. Harry does his part well!
! but it would take a sixty-mile-an-hour
/ person to keep up with her.
Emma FrabeII and brother open the
/ bill with a wire walking act. Brother
| does dance impressions Of Frisco
while on the wire. Harry and Denis
! Du For know how to dance. When
they dance they are winners. They
do as nice steppin around as one
would want to SEQ Charles Cartmell
and Laura Harris and company offer
J a dance affair in three episodes.
