With “Follies of tbe Day” at the Popular Gayety Twice Daily all Next Week. Final Performance Friday Night. BOB TOLLIVER W ITH “BOZO" Talented Colored Performer Shines in “Follies of the Day”. Here’s what the Syracuse (N. Y.) Journal had to say about “Bozo, the Silent” and Barney Gerard’s "Follies of the Day'”, the big attraction at the popular Gayety for six days only, starting at 3:00 Sunday afternoon, October 8th: Silence is indeed golden, you learn again from Tommy “Bozo” Snyder, who is with us for three days in “Follies of the Day”, playing a re turn engagement at the Bastable. Golden is not alone to him who is silent, but to him who employs the silent one as well. Not only is Snyder the highest salaried comedian in his field, but the “Follies of the Day” is the best money-maker that revolves with the Columbia wheel. “What Does the Public Want ” is the title that Barney Gerard has given his Klondike. The answer is, “Follies of the Day” and productions like it. In spite of adverse weather conditions, Syracuse theatregoers packed the | Bastable Wednesday night at the season's permier. A,nd, in spite of two interruptions, due to crippled power service, they remained to the finish, although that meant a mid night final curtain. If the Columbia producers would take a tip from Gerard’s book, there would be no starvation seasons in burlesque— and Syracuse would have continued on the wheel this season. The present edition of the “Fol lies” embraces much of the material that marked the production last year, but Gerard has materially strengthened his company by changes in the supporting cast. This is especially true as regards the women principals. Gertrude “Babe” Lavetta, an old friend, is a better ingenue-soubret (mostly soubret) than was Gertrude Hayes, Jr. Babe Almond, also a new soubret, is shapely, speedy and talented. The two girls are very much in evidence throughout the show, Miss Lavetta particularly. A veteran of some seasons, Miss Lavetta’* work gain? in polish each year. Her songs are sure-fire, her stepping graceful and her comedy bits well handled. Then, in the male contingent, a* new comers there are the Califor nia Trio, three clean cut boys with voices that always please. Sam Green—who as yet hasn’t entered the ministry—remains as Bozo’s foil. J. B. Williams, Harry Watson, Harley Mayne and Bob Tolliver—it was Bob who did the stepping while the lights went out— are among the other principals. And oh boy, what a chorus! Barney's eye has not lost its cunning. Snyder, who relies upon pan tomime and facial expression for his laughs, is burlesque’s premier comedian: he more than anyone else has raised burlesque comedy to the level of an ait. More power to him 1 as the seasons roll on. It’s not necessary to elaborate upon the dress of this Gerard pro duction: the mere statement that Barney bought the Ziegfield equip ment intact s sufficient. There will be a matinee daily at 2:15. Bob Tolliver at every perform ance, day and night. The engagement will close on Friday night. I. . . ■ » «■.«■»« ■ • « . «■»«-?
