21 min. Following all the dancers we have had here, this couple registered one of the biggest hits ever scored in this house. Opened with a series of modern dances, they scored with each number, their ‘Fox Trot’ being especially well executed and deserving of the liberal amount of applause it received. Prior to Adelaide finishing with one of her characteristic toe dances, Edward Davis rendered a violin selection in the orchestra pit which won considerable favor. The closing number by the dancers was an artistic triumph. She was seldom been seen to better advantage and Mr. Hughes in the role of Pierrot lent valuable assistance. At the finish of their act, the applause continued long after they had left the stage.
