The opener is called "The Battle Ground" by Jack Burnett, with a setting supposed to represent a Western dance hall. Directly after the opening, when the chorus sings "Rainbow," there is a stretch of talk. The show features Tommie O'Dell, Tim Healy, Ilma Dore, Anna Sennette, Harry Chick, Carrie Wolford, Max Reynolds, Phil Sheridan, and Ollie Omega. Songs include "Indian Squawlets," "Pedro," "The Belle of the Camp," "The Maids of Siam," "The Spirit of 76," and "Shawnee Maid." The Marvelous Hilton Troupe, three women and two men, the women "filling in," have some first-rate comedy bicycle stuff.
