Good Impressions

From the limbo of the undis-
covered emerged Ted Fields to
give q cameo impression Of Edna
May Oliver and take-off of the
languid Greta Carlo that was
miles ahead of those who figure
they get the Swede when they
simulate her contralto tones and
recite, LAY am so tired. I tank
go home now" Fields catches the
Carlo cented manneriSms
and gestures and his carbon be-
comes pretty gorgeous satire in
stead Of the routine imitation.
The same goes for his Edna May
Oliver copy.
Marjorie King stopped the audi
ton show cold on Tuesday night.
That is, the applause for her sing
ing was such that it continued
after she left the stage and had
taken her place with the audience.
She sang "L'Amour, Toujours,
L'Amour." The King soprano voice
has not only sweet quality, but
it has lung power capable of fill
ing the National Theater without
a microphone stimulation. I don t
know whether she can fill the Fox
without a mike, but I do know
that, taking her reception at the
addition, Gene Ford will have to
find a place for her in the Au'
gust revue.
Real laughs were provided by the
Danzansky trio. 1t began with q
Sober-faced and serious reciter who
announced he would give an i'm
preston of Lew Cody rendering
Robert w. Services poem, "Fleur-
ette." In the middle of his serious
lyrical efforts, two annoyers arose
in the audience. Out of it all
emerged a god comedy trio who
cooled off a riotous first impress
sion with a Butcher, Baker and
Candlestick Maker" song which
was too long winded. But they
have the makin's. I hope they get
q chance with the Fox audiences.
Another cute trick was La nellie
Avery who sang Latin From
Manhattan" accompanying it
with some good tap stepping.
Has a Real Voice
Additions were held in the Ma
tional Theater, an excellent idea
since it gives Gene Ford a good
approximation of audience reac'
ton. Most of those in the orches
ira seats were either entertain
ers waiting chance or their
friends. They comprised a sym
pathetic gathering, perhaps bit
too generous for whose who
strutted their stuff, but neverthe
less comforting and encouraging
to the nervous embryos waiting
to be called.
A Tuesday night sample of what
we may expect in August at the
Fox makes me optimistic. There
is an abundance of talent in and
around Washington and on what
it showed in the additions I am
quite sure Gene Ford will be able
to pluck a show which will
cause Broadway to sit up. ]
