Five Armanis

Location:
Date:
I am afraid I will have to go on record as “knocking” a rival (?) operatic act. I think the Armanis are considerable of a bluff. There is not one first class voice in the company and the people are rather awkward, while the scenery is very shabby. They managed to get quite a little applause and I don’t know that I have any great kick coming from the audience standpoint, but when I meet the composer of “Lucia”, if we both got to the same place hereafter, I’m going to tell him what they did to his Sextette. 15 Min. Open F.S. Close in One.
