On at 8.34, 22 min; set made in 2, but it is so elaborate that it might as well be full stage, when it comes to economizing time in making the setting and clearing. This act did not make the hit that I hoped it would. It seems lacking in action and comedy. The idea is novel, however. Miss McKenzie and Mr. Shannon both sing very well, and their “company”, in the person of the boy who plays the bootblack, is clever. I see no reason why this act will not develop and become worth the money we are paying for it. As I have said before, I think it needs faster action and more humor.
