Lafayette and his company presented his pantomimical spectacle, ‘The Lion’s Bride.’ While it is the same act that Lafayette has been doing for years, he has an entire new set, new costumes, and it is a really good thing. The act was shown under great disadvantages as the lion refused to go into the cage, and held the curtain nearly five minutes, then later in the act, the inside gates in the cage refused to work which caused the finish to be rather tame. When everything goes properly, however, the act will prove a winner. 17 mins, spec.
