“My Wife’s Diamonds”. I was in hopes that this play would do much better here on this trip, as they have never scored very heavily in Cleveland. The act is very similar to that of Gardner Crane’s act; as it deals with the stealing of a diamond necklace, and instead of calling on the servants and employees of the hotel, in Gardner Crane’s act, he calls on the German Girl, Italian Boy, and the French dressmaker. These characters are taken by Miss Cotton. Her German dialect is unusually bad and only spoils this character. The Italian Boy is very good and the French dressmaker is only fair. Mr Long plays the part of the husband, and only does one character of the Italian. The act is far from being a hit and went very flat this afternoon, receiving hardly any applause at all at finish. 22 minutes. Interior.
