Singing opening.
Pernikoff, Rose and Ballet closed the first part. This act has a male dancer whose chief stock seems a few piourettes. The opening dance is symbolic of something or other and is preceded by a song prolog, describing the act to follow. The prolog is delivered in "one," followed by the opening dance performed on the root without any appropriate setting. The act runs to toe dancing. Two dances of this nature by Rose and another by four girls In hoop skirt and pantalettes. The woman principal Rose wears fleshings, but the other girls, six In the number, go in for the more artistic effect. It requires unusual ability to get this sort of an act over after its illustrious predecessors, but a small time audience will probably accept the flash literally.
