Produced by Ed. E. Rice. Edith Bradford as Prince Charming
pleases the most with her voice and
work in general. She is the hit of the
piece. Geo. J. Fortesque
is the comedian, gathering laughs
and comedy through his size, encased in
skirts, Fortesque playing the eldest
daughter of Baron Balderdash (W. J.
Pbinney). Blanche Homana is Thisbe, the
Second Daughter, and Lillian Swain, Cinderella.
Miss Swain well takes the role,
with little to do, something also falling to
the lot of Miss Homana, Mr. Phinney and
Allie Gilbert, the Fairy Godmother. Nellie
Lynch has the standard "straight"
role in the Prince's valet. A chorus of eight
girls is used very sparingly.
There is enough
good in "Cinderella" for it to become a
permanent vaudeville attraction.
