J Edwin Crapo, a famous male model, poses to display his muscular physique before the dances begin. Mlle. Gomez wears a different costume than usual. her “cooch” movement in her dance was retained despite the costume change.
The management voted on whether or not Mlle. Gomez should undress or dress up. The ayes led to Gomez being dressed up more.
"The Garden of Passion."
Besides posting, Mr. Crapo does little, excepting to exist as an excuse for Mlle. Gomez to cavort about J. Edwin flopping over at the finish and the Mlle. falling over his prostrate figure. Had they not dressed up Mlle. with gauzy but still somewhat misty pantalettes (all the way down on all sides, with a slit that didn't work overtime), the dance would have been as interesting at night as it was in the afternoon, when the "cooch" movement before referred to helped to quite some degree.
