Assisted by two people presenting a new version of the old act entitled “The New Coachman.” The scene this year is laid in a college boy’s room in a hotel. While there is no doubt that the act created a great deal of laughter, I think it is a little bit rough for our orchestra patrons. In knocking the dinner off the table Mr. Simon succeeded in wetting nearly everyone in the first row of the orchestra seats. Food, sawdust, rice, etc., were thrown about in such a reckless manner that a man took an awful chance in sitting in the first five rows. I am going to have the act tamed down considerably before the new show. C.D.F in three. 28 min.
