Manager Jess Burns, wishing to
depart from the stereotyped, is giving burlesque
patrons a sample of what might be termed
"frolicsome farce," without spice.
Features Nick Long and Idalene Cotton. One of the best numbers was "International
Affinities," showing girls of all nations. "Fascination"
was another hit. A "chatter"
song was liked. None of the other principals,
excepting Burt Eaton and Ollie Francis,
a robust woman, were important. Annette Wlltsle, the soubrette, showed
vivacity. Wilbur Held sang parodies in a strong
voice and Joked, and Wixon and Eaton recited
ancient history.
The show Is somewhat
too slow In action in the present shape.
In a week or two it should be running more
briskly.
