18 min. open in one, close F.S. There is no doubt that Bothwell Browne is an artist in his line. His Broadway types were good, but they did not show what he could do in the impersonation line, the spoken songs being better than his rendering of them; but when it came to “The Serpent of the Nile” with its gorgeous setting and brilliant costuming, it was certainly a hit. Held the rapt attention of the audience throughout. His dancing in this part of the act is simply marvelous, and the climax very thrilling. The finishing applause was immense and particularly after his doffing his wig and showing himself an impersonator.
