"Sumurun."
The Monday matinee audience didn't receive the Hoffman pantomime with open arms and many heard divided opinions were heard as the audience discussed the "Sumurun" production as offered by Miss Hoffman and company. The pantomime took up more than an hour's running time.
During the course of the Hoffman pretentious offering, "Sumurun," there was little applause and while it held rapt attention until the very end, the audience didn't appear to know just how to receive it. The Hoffman affair is a costly, big stage investment and in order to give it proper atmosphere and accoutrements of the land where it was supposed to take place an unusually large company and several carloads of scenery are carried.
