The Surprise Party
It has been designed for a “kid” act, but never got beyond the “kid” dressing, not even to the point of a special setting.
4 Connolly Sisters
Nellie Seymour and Nestor
Miss Seymour has some character changes, doing very well with “Marianina” for the finish.
The Musical Bennetts
How He Woke Up
Newhouse and Carroll
The setting shows a stream with an arched bridge crossing it. The man is seated at the highest point, in regulation Summer outing clothes, fishing. A “Summer girl” in fluffy frock and hat crosses the bridge just as the fisherman has “a bite.” In the excitement a “breakaway” arrangement is sprung, the bridge collapses and the rails of the bridge become a pair of parallel bars. All this occupies but a few minutes, and the pair get down to the acrobatic and gymnastic work immediately.
