Featuring Charles Banks in a blackface monologue; Minnie Burke (song and dance); Edgar Bixley; Fred Nolan plays a "rube"; Tina
Rice plays a spinster, while John Walters
is a country "kid."; Bessie Rosa sang "The Girl Who Threw Me Down"; May Bryant was billed but did not appear; W.H. Houghton plays the devil. Music by W.K. Whiting.
A little slow in the opening, the second
act caught up quickly, and was the nearest
approach to comic opera so far seen in
burlesque. The "Boston Belles" will have to be
again re-shaped before it is satisfactory.
The present cast does not carry enough
material to select an olio from, which
would pass, if an olio is to be insisted
upon.
