Upon the wires
in the foreground are perched eight birds,
in four couples, of varigated plumage. The
bodies are done in what seems to be real
feathers, and their heads are those of the
singers poked through the drop. Thin
newer treatment of an old idea works a
pretty effect, and the song "Birdie" which
is thus rendered brings the act to a bright
and successful finish.
Nellie Brewster, a young woman with
a strong and resonant voice, noticable
more for strength than sweetness, heads a
company of singers who make tuneful
headway with a novel idea.
