Discarding their "airship" talk, the German
comedians have framed up a new arrangement,
including talk, parodies and a
"Salome" burlesque as an olio number in
Louis Robie's burlesque organization [Knickerbockers]. They open with an operatic melody, the
lyrics being burlesqued, and then work
into talk. A parody on "Bunker Hill"
with the orchestra working a ridiculous
battle effect won laughs.
