– this is an act entirely new given by the Lovenberg Sisters and one other girl. It is certainly a novelty and most pleasing to the eye, and in it it is introduced to some very fine step dancing. They carry their own scenery, which is of the weird Black Crook type, with dragons, etc., painted upon it, and have working eyes, spit steam from their mouth, etc. Mephisto is discovered and does an acrobatic grotesque dance. That’s his exit, Faust and Marguerite appear, and do a very fine waltz clog to the music of the waltz from “Faust”. Mephisto reappears, and they do a triple clog gavotte, at the end of which each does some solo dancing. As the finale, the three dance together, at which time the lights all over the house are out, and the costumes are illuminated by miniature lights fastened upon them. The costumes are very beautiful. The act is founded upon Faust, and is called “Faust in Terpsichore”, and the music is all taken from the opera “Faust”. 12 min. 2 shows, Full stage.
