11 min. On at 9.43. This is one of the prettiest sight-acts that was ever invented. The women are not required to be very expert dancers, but they are very graceful and most stunningly costumed, and have most unaccountable nerve, to take the flights into flies and wings as they do. Each one is suspended by an invisible wire. They sweep from one side of the stage to the other and from the floor to the flies, in a manner that holds the audience’s breath. The finish of the act, when the doves are let loose in a flight from the gallery, alighting on the persons of the dancers, is one of the most stunning pictures ever seen. This act is a genuine hit and sure to be talked about.
