Open in drapery in one, then to full stage, 21 minutes. The act opens with four attractive and refined looking girls, two playing clarinets, one flute and one bassoon, the girls being dressed in the pearl gray cap and gown of Vassar College. Their work on these instruments was well received by our audience, interspersed as it is with a little singing; next six girls appear playing saxophone and presenting much of the latest opera music and popular song hits, which were also well received. Then the eight appear clad in the same raiment, four playing cornets and four trombones, working up a strong finish for their ‘Electric Dance,’ which is done in darkened house and stage, and scored an undoubted hit, being frequently interrupted by storms of applause and closing very strong.
