Powell’s Marionettes

Location:
Date:
YRR 2. 14 minutes. The act is similar to Holden’s. The general fitting up of the act is great. While Holden uses more figures than this man, Holden’s not as novel. Powell introduces Russian and skirt dances with stereopticon views thrown on the costumes, which has never been seen here. The act closes with a transformation scene, in which he introduces a fountain with colored lights, making a very pretty picture. It is exceptionally strong act.
