On at 2.38, 30 min, full stage. Candor compels me to state that this act duplicated the hit it made here last season, but personally I do not think that it is in as good shape as then, the two men and the girl being far inferior to their predecessors. There are possibilities in this act that Tighs has not realized yet; for instance, what an improvement it would be if he had four really good singer with him: he could work up a singing finish that would be a riot. A cleverer woman would also make a decided improvement. His answer to my argument with him on these points was that he couldn’t do it on the salary he is getting, as the people he had last season all demanded more money and he considers himself entitled to a larger salary than he figured on last season.
