"The Fashion Show" closed the first part. At the best it is a rather long-drawn-out affair, and it did not seem to be particularly appealing to the Alhambra's audience. There were occasionally ripples of applause throughout the act, but it was from a few scattered folks in the house. The act has been cut down somewhat since at the Palace, and there have been a number of changes among the girls. Those now in it, with the exception of one or two, do not seem to have the knack of walking on the stage. Either their shoes were too small or they were walking on eggs. Several of the gowns needed brushing badly and one of the girls appeared with a noticeable hold in a stocking.
