On top of all this comedy came Rice and Werner, a man and a woman in blackface, with a burlesque act that was a riot. An act like this in a burlesque house would murder an audience and it was a scream in this high class theatre. Some of the material gets pretty close to the line, but it is not overplayed, and stops just at the right spot. There hasn't been as big a laugh in the closing position here for many a day.
