Type:
"Runaway Girls" Featuring Jack Reid, Frank Wakefield, and Ella Reid Gilbert. The program gives Thos. T.
Bailey credit for books, lyrics and music. Ed Manny as a Dutchman and Al Pinard as the
"town rounder" and "ward polisher," both put
their parts over satisfactorily. The National
Quartet offered a specialty near the close of the
first part that found favor. Perry and Elliott
opened the olio and made a good Impression.
Ed Blondeli and Co. added attraction.
One
thing can be said for "The Runaways," It has
the best collection of numbers heard at the Star
and Garter this season, and whoever staged them
fairly knew his business. It also may be classed
as one of the best singing organisations on the
Wheels.
