20 minutes full stage. 1 lady. 2 men. Special drop. Not so many experiments! As in some acts of its kind seen here. The public seems to be tiring of this form of entertainment which too vividly recalls the ancient tricks of the mountebanks and charlatans of Cagliostro’s day, and they look askance at all such performances however pretentious or ambitious. The comedy which obtained through the employment of a ‘plant’ is little short of buffoonery.
