I think this is one of the worst things I have ever saw; the first scene of the act is rather pretty and makes a dainty little sketch in itself; the second scene, in front of the church, is tiresome to say the least, and the last scene, with the exception of the zim-zam game, was about as boresome and long drawn out affair as ever I saw; they got very few laughs, none of them big; the company is very mediocre, some of the people decidedly bad, and I can see nothing to the act to recommend it. We would do a great deal more business with a good $300 sketch. I would say that Mr. Hart is making upwards of $500 a week profit with this thing. 40 min. F.S.
