One fairly clever dance number, and just two barely acceptable vocal renditions is the limit of praise that can be bestowed upon this latest offering of Homan’s Musical Revue. The program which they had laid out included no less than five or six numbers which had been used here only last week by the first company. I protested vigorously against this, and succeeded in the elimination of three or four selections: This will prove conclusively how shy they are of material. On all sides one hears only adverse criticisms against this second company, and the consensus of opinion is to the effect that they are vastly inferior to the first company which played here. The way in which business has decreased since last Monday is proof conclusive of their inferiority, and this fact is not attributable to the heat which has prevailed, for I recall that we had some extremely hot days during the first company’s visitation and there was no falling off in business; in fact business was exceptionally good.
