"School of Acting."
The Murphy-Nichols and Co., satire "School of Acting" despite its quality of true burlesque, and big laughing situations, can't be compared at present, with "From Zaza to Uncle Tom," but may develop. Miss Nichols is again most amusing as "an actress from the ranks," )the "rankest of them all," she quotes Mr. Belasco as saying)n and the company consists of a good looking young woman and man neither of whom are of much assistance. Bringing on several stuffed figures in uniforms as wounded soldiers, and using them for comedy, may offend many who have suffered the tragedy of war and are not ready to laugh quite yet, over a burlesque of it.
