Havemann’s Animals

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Type:
17 min. Lions and tigers. Undoubtedly a wonderful animal act, but following closely behind the recent incident in New York, it is not a good buy for vaudeville at present, While holding considerable interest, fully one-half of the audience, particularly women, left their seats and watched the remainder of the act from the lobby, showing evidence of nervousness. Those who remained rewarded Havemann liberally with applause.
