In their new act which they term, “Around the Compass.” This is an arrangement of songs and dances of the North, East, South and West, giving a chance for many changes of costume and scenery. Naturally, the dancing is a most important feature of the act, but Mr. Simon Neary is a very fine vocalist and adds materially to the whole. The act repeated the same success here that it has credited with in other places that it has played. In fact, it is a much bigger hit than the “Six American Dancers” ever were here. 22 minutes opens full stage closes with 3 minutes in one. There is nothing to “strike” in the act when they finish with their full stage work, only drops to be taken up, this, leaving the stage clear for anything that might follow. We have quite an elaborate set following them this week and are making it without any trouble.
