2 shows, 11 min, full stage. 16 young men in an exhibition of fancy drilling and wall scaling. While they work quicker than the Streator’s Zouaves, whom we played a few years ago, their maneuvers are not so catchy for stage purposes. The act was punctuated by applause all the way through, and which increased during the wall scaling. There was no great hurrah over it, however, such as has been reported from other houses. Perhaps we are a better judge of such things, may amore [sic] blasé.
