The principle comedian is Frank Carlton. There are several Irish comedians in burlesque who portray the Irish character
in different styles, but all true to life. Carlton
is one, and furthermore one of the best. May
Strelil [sp?] is the principal woman and for appearance
will equal any. Harry Antrim, doing a
broken down "legit" is a capable comedian.
Working opposite Carlton, Antrim held his own
with apparent ease and be too should be handling
better- material. Wllllard Terre as a
major worked "straight". Kitty Pembrook in a
character role carried her part to success.
Amy Allyn makes a pleasing appearance and
has a first class voice. Thomas Brown as a Dutch
comedian is impossible.
The costuming
"Broadway Gaiety Girls" is a little better than
the average burlesque show and shows carefulness on the part of the one who selected the outfit.
The singing is one of the features which
brought strong applause.
