Old Soldier Fiddlers

Location:
Theater:
Date:
21 min F.S. At the afternoon show this act dragged somewhat during the first half, but seemed to gather interest and strength up to the patriotic climax when they made a good close. At the evening performance, however, the veterans seemed to be much more popular and they were received with greater enthusiasm so that their work caught the crowd and they made a strong close with their “kind applause” finish, with everybody standing during the “Star Spangled Banner” number and our colossal American flag.
