Written by Mrs. V. Mott Pierce, daughter-in-law to Dr. R.V. Pierce the famous patient medicine man. Mrs. Pierce being a resident of Buffalo the sketch is one of unusual local interest but at the same time carries considerable merit as well as being artistic. Mrs. Pierce has gone to the expense of special scenery and light effects which are as beautiful as anything ever seen in vaudeville. There are three people in the act, one and [sic] indian [sic], one a cowboy, and one a supposedly indian [sic] maid who afterwards turns out to be a white girl. Miss Young who plays the maid is a sister of Mrs. Pierce and Mr. Fred House who plays the cowboy is Miss Young’s husband. Mr. House closed with the Providence Stock Co. to open here with this sketch. The idea of the act is entirely different from any other and it is well played. I believe it would make a good attraction in any theatre whether Mrs. Pierce was known there or not, full stage 18 minutes.
