A noticeable thing and quite an
uncommon one is the fact that all—not
one or two favorites, but all—wear silk
hose throughout the entire show. The
girls also do their allotted work with a
snap and an apparent air of enjoyment.
Reeves makes them feel that they are a
part of the show and each is allowed a
little bit that must needs encourage them
in their work.
The principals are really a part of the
chorus, and the chorus really the principals. Songs included "Wild Cherry Rag", "Old Kentucky Home", "Give-Me-Credit" and "Harry Lauder on the Brain". Al Reeves pulls his "Give Me Credit
Boys" in the burlesque, and it contains
a bully good crowd of laughable lyrics. Includes Chas. Burke, Ed Morris, Joe Manne and Lloyd Hoey. Almeda Fowler might be mentioned as
being at the head of the feminine contingent, which includes Jeanne Langsford, Harriet Carter, and Irene Burton.
