The show is a two-act arrangement without an olio. Charles Howard is the featured comedian. Jennie Austin is a capital soubret. She showed her worth but worked in an almost listless manner. Regardless, her encore came easily and her numbers were put over well. Nell Capron is another of the strong females. She did yeoman service with due reward. The men included Saul Powder, Bert Chapman and Harry P. Nelson. The principal feature, besides the comedy, proved to be the chorus.
The show was slow to start. It did not receive must notice until Howard took the stage. From that point on there was hearty applause until the curtain.
There are many specialties in the piece. This does not add to the general good effect, but rather proves to be a drawback. There is so much that the act cannot move along smoothly. Moreover, the cast is filled with strong women who could all easily do more. Ada Ayers had a role that called for her to do little else but look pretty. Of the men, Saul Powder stood out.
