This dancing pantomime called “Canoeing” was seventeen minutes long on the full stage.
The setting is a woodland scene. In the opening, Mr. Hughes sleeps on a log while Miss Adelaide sits on a fence. They do some pantomime and proceed to dance a “no-clasp” and a variation on the tango. They exit in the canoe. Adelaide is dressed in an attractive white outing suit which gave her the appearance of Flora Parker.
This new dancing act will do well in vaudeville. The appearance of the couple was pleasing and the audience enjoyed the performance. The act is a big improvement for Adelaide.
