Seven horses
are grouped up stage with a picturesquely
garbed huntsman in each saddle, and Miss
Hoffman made her entrance on a splendid
looking animal.
Does impersonations of Eddie Foy, Anna Held and Geo. M. Cohen, in addition to impersonations
of the "Merry Widow"
waltz principals, Eva Tanguay, Harry
Lauder and Adeline Genee.
To say that the act was
a substantial hit does scant justice to the
enthusiastic reception given it Wednesday
evening.
Surrounding
circumstances make the Tanguay imitation
the most interesting, as it is the
cleverest and most skilful [sic] of the series.
It is a bit of positively inspired mimicry,
wonderfully faithful in spirit and amazingly
close to the original in every detail
of action and dress.
