Electric Crickets

Type:
This organization of one man and 9 women nicely costumed in a series of songs, special marches with electrical effects, etc. Make three changes of costume. First, that of the electric crickets with special electrical effects forming a very neat picture, Second, that of the Japanese Girls and the Third, that of Soldiers. At the finish of the act, showing the pictures of Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt, etc. spelling the names on the knapsacks which the girls carried. Quite a novel idea. It is as good as any girl act of this character we ever had. Received a fairly good hand at the finish. 21 min, full stage.
