Assisted by two men, Mr. Carl Eckstrom & Mr. Morris Franklin, in a sketch entitled ‘Captain Velvet.’ The scene is laid in Southern California, near the Mexican Border. The action of the play is intensely dramatic, with outlaws, half-breeds, assassins, etc.; the company is well chosen, and the characters well cast and the little act commands the closest attention. Kitchen set in three. 21 min. Received four curtain calls. The ending of the sketch is a surprise and the action is wholly unexpected. The audience wanted more at the finish.
