VARIETY AT THE HASTINGS PIER – in 1910!

Variety, popular, interesting;, and entertaining, reigns at the Hastings Pier this
week.

Waiter Lintone is a very clever concertina player, and Dainty Doretta sings and
dances charmingly.

An attractive singing “ turn” is provided by Mabel and Hester Reeve, who are sisters to the celebrated Ada Reeve, and their duets, of an operatic nature, are exceedingly good. Both possess very fine soprano voices.

More singing and dancing, in addition, is provided bv Len Hall, and also the‘Sisters Wayland, while one of the best novelty "turns” seen at the Pier for some time is by Mdlle. Eldee, or the Girl in the Golden Frame,. Mdlle. Eldee stands inside a gigantic frame, upon which limelight views, forming a background to her figure, are thrown with beautiful effects.

Ibbotson. who calls himself America’s Black Dame, carries out a number of .very amusing imitations, including a conceited girl singing to a ’cello accompaniment, the imitation of the ’cello was excellent.

Tamomoto is a very clever wire walker from Japan. He twists himself in all sorts of fantastic shapes on the wire, and, in addition, climbs a rope suspended from the auditorium just as a cat would.

The Pier Bioscope is as amusing and interesting as ever.
