"Behman Show," with book by W.H. Lytell, lyrics by Leo Edwards. Featuring Mollie Williams, James C. Morton, Pete Curley, Ned Dundy, Marlon Moore, Mark Bennett and Frank Montgomery. Sherman and DeForrest
were added In the olio. Acts include "Hey-Diddle-Diddle," "A Night in an English Music Hall," "Sunflower Alley," and "The Passing Review"
The comedy, of the fast and furiously funny
kind, brought roars of laughter.
The show
is diversified and stupendous for present day burlesque. The show In Its
entirety is a revelation in burlesque. It is sumptuous,
radiant and complete, combining musical
comedy, opera, satire and extravagance. If it is the intention of the Star and
Garter to establish high class burlesque the "Behnian
Show" accomplished it. Hundreds were
turned away on Siindav unable to secure seats.
