N/A The Magic Touch: A Musical Tabloid Unknown
4 May 1914 The Novelty Minstrels Professional
Read Narrative
There is an attractive programme here this week. Carl Hertz shares the head of the bill, presenting numerous cleverly arranged illusions, among those most deserving of praise being the "Shell Nymph", "The Merry Widow", and "Pretty Polly", and as his assistant Emile d'Alton is decidedly praiseworthy. Con Conrad's Novelty Minstrels also provide a leading item on the programme. Bert Leighton scores as the interlocutor and sings excellent numbers are well applauded, one most appreciated being that of the violinist, Mr. Jack Terrie. James Willard is responsible for a powerful little dramatic episode Not all the King's Horses, which is well-played and staged. Edith England is pleasing as a contralto, while admirable entertainment of another quality comes from the comic juggling of Richard Wally, who is showing some smart tricks. Rokby is highly amusing, as is Hal Bert. Bert Danson is successful with "Boosters Billions." Mr Fred Camp is the musical director and Mr Charles Marte the manager. (The Stage - Thursday 07 May 1914)
